ListView - Object not supported

[Ray Williams]

Can anyone explain why I am receiving this error, "Object doesn't support this property or method" when I attempt to retreive a ListView called from a function?


My Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
ListView1 = getlistview(ListView1)
End Sub

Function getlistview(mylistview As ListView) As ListView
mylistview.ListItems.Add , , "Fred"
mylistview.ListItems.Add , , "Sarah"
mylistview.ListItems.Add , , "Paul"
Set getlistview = mylistview
End Function

Thank You,

I'm not sure, that is wierd maybe its some kind of default property wierdness. Anyway this works:

Private Sub Form_Load()
filllistview ListView1
End Sub
 
Sub filllistview(ByRef mylistview As ListView)
    mylistview.ListItems.Add , , "Fred"
    mylistview.ListItems.Add , , "Sarah"
    mylistview.ListItems.Add , , "Paul"
End Sub

Exactly! Discovered same solution. Thanks for your help.

You know what I think it is, you can't set a control to something after its loaded.

Interesting. But I was able to substitute the ListView with a ListBox and it worked perfectly.

I think ListView is a different animal completley and copying all the properties and data is just not supported.

Again, thanks for your interest
