click into listview and enter data

[coder4life]

is there a way to setup a listview where you can click into one of the fields and enter data?

[VBClassicRocks]

The most common method of achieving this is to float a textbox over the
individual cells, moving and sizing it to fit the LV cell. There are many
examples on PSC, and here is one that works fairly well:

If you're only interested in changing the first column then just do this.

Private Sub ListView1_ItemClick(ByVal Item As MSComctlLib.ListItem)

    ListView1.StartLabelEdit
    
End Sub

what i want to do is pull in a list from a text file, one that keeps changing

like

abs vbtab def vbtab ghi vbtab jkl vbtab mno
123 vbtab 345 vbtab 145 vbtab 222 vbtab 111
abs vbtab def vbtab ghi vbtab jkl vbtab mno
abs vbtab def vbtab ghi vbtab jkl vbtab mno

etc

ok, so now we see this in the listview

but i want to revise the item in the 3rd row last column, for example, so i will want to click into that field, change the item and then re-export the revised version to the text file

if the listview idea doesnt work, is there another way?

I assume you can fill the listview from the text file and rewrite it to the text file when done without help, and for the rest, did you look at the code that VBClassicRocks linked to? It works.
