Lostfocus - practical problem

[Michael_Kamen]

Hi,

People, i'm facing a very practical problem:
I have a listview (set to report view) to display names from my database. When an item is clicked all info about that person is showed. To edit this info I have a second form which loads this info in textboxes to have it edited. But there must be an item selected to be edited so, in the LostFocus event of the listview i disable the Edit button.
That's ok.

But when I click the edit button, the lostfocus event is raised and, before the code behind the button has been executed, the button is disabled.
Is there anything I can do about this?

Try using Validate instead of LostFocus. Gives option of cancelling the shift...

Thanx, i've never looked at that event, didn't know what it did

try checking the listindex property of your listview to be sure the user has selected one of the available options. if the user has not selected an option, the listindex property will be -1. when the edit button is clicked:

if listview.listindex >= 0 then
'---allow user to edit
else
msgbox "please select an option"
end if
