[RESOLVED] listview.hwnd problem

[kizsleg]

why is there an error in the method when getting the hwnd of a listview from other form.

calling this from form2.

form1.listview1.hwnd returns method error.

thanks in advance for the reply..

- How do you actually use it?
- What is the actual error message?
- hWnd is not a method - it's a property and its value needs to be assigned to some variable.

[kizsleg]

Private Sub gethwnd(frm As Form, lvw As ListView)
MsgBox frm.lvw.hWnd
End Sub

Private Sub btn__Click()
gethwnd Form1, ListView1
End Sub

i actually want to create a sub or function to get the hwnd of listview from another form.
"byref argument type mismatch is the error that i got.

The gethwnd sub should not have two parameters - it should only have lvw , as that exists in its own right and you should not be specifying a parent object for it.

This line:

MsgBox frm.lvw.hWnd

is actually asking for an object on Form1 which is called lvw (rather than anything related to your parameter called lvw), which presumably does not exist.

This will do what you want:

MsgBox lvw.hWnd

Add this to your form2:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim lHwnd As Long

    lHwnd = GetHWnd(Form1.ListView1)
    MsgBox lHwnd

End Sub

Private Function GetHWnd(ctl As Control)
On Error Resume Next
    GetHWnd = ctl.hWnd
End Function
