How can help to correct this code plz?

Hi Guys


I use the code below to search for employee , by using the employee number.

In the form I have only listview1 and text1 box for search.
Databse: dbemp
Recordset:rsemp


When I use this code I always get this message
Invalid property value , err 380

Any one can help please ?
Thank you in advance

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Dim x As ListItem
Set x = ListView1.FindItem("emp_number", lvAccounts, elvSearchText)
If (x Is Nothing) = False Then
Set lvAccounts.SelectedItem = x.Selected
End IfEnd Sub

Try changing the following line:

VB Code:

'Change this line ...
Set lvAccounts.SelectedItem = x
'To this line ...

x.Selected is a boolean (Yes/No) property, while the lvAccounts.SelectedItem is an object property (i.e. it holds a ListItem object).

.

Hi honeybee
Thank you

I tried this Set lvAccounts.SelectedItem = x
Instead of Set lvAccounts.SelectedItem = x.Selected but, does not work

Can you post anther idea please ?

Thank you so much

Oh boy! You said you are using only one Listview and one textbox. But you are using the name of the listview control as ListView1 at one place and lvAccounts at the other. Verify your code and use the same listview name at both the places.

Did you copy the FindItem line from somewhere?

.

NO, Sir
I did not copy any , I am using the same code which has only one listview with one textbox, and I need to search by suing the emp_number in the textbox, so can you help again to correct the code if you do not mind please ?

Thank you

You did not fully answer Honeybee's question...also in your FindItem method, you have quoted your search variable, ie "emp_number", which makes it a constant...;)

Here's some code for searching a Listview.
I would recommend doing the searching in the change event.
The following code should work

VB Code:

Private Sub text1_Change()
Dim Item As ListItem
 
Set Item = listview1.FindItem(text1, , , lvwPartial)
If Item Is Nothing Then
   Exit Sub
Else
  Item.EnsureVisible
  Item.Selected = True
End If
 
End Sub

1. As noted above, you have two different names for your listview

2. Again as noted above, you use "emp_number", which may be in your recordset somewhere, but may not be the key to the listview item. Nowhere in that procedure do you set "emp_number". Once you use the recordset to populate the listview, you don't care about it as far as searching the listview is concerned.
