BUG: ItemClick Event Fires After First ListItem Added to ListView

• Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

The ItemClick event fires after the first ListItem is added to a ListView, even though the item was not clicked.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

The ItemClick event fires only after adding the first item. Adding more items does not fire the ItemClick event.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Start a new Windows CE HPC Project or Windows CE HPC Pro Project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.



2. Select Components from the Project menu and select the Microsoft CE ListView Control 6.0.



3. Add a ListBox, CommandButton, and ListView control to Form1.



4. Paste the following code into Form1:
   

   
   Private Sub Command1_Click()
      ListViewCtrl1.ListItems.Add , , "Item One"
   End Sub
   
   Private Sub ListViewCtrl1_ItemClick(ByVal Index As Long)
      List1.AddItem "ItemClick fired."
   End Sub 




5. Run the project on the target platform.



6. Click the CommandButton, and note that the first ListItem is added to the ListView and the ItemClick event fires.

WorkAround

   Option Explicit
   Dim first_time As Boolean
 
   Private Sub Command1_Click()
    If first_time Then
       ListViewCtrl1.ListItems.Add , , ""
       ListViewCtrl1.ListItems.Add , , "Item One"
       ListViewCtrl1.ListItems.Remove (1)
       first_time = False
    Else
       ListViewCtrl1.ListItems.Add , , "Item One"
    End If
   End Sub
 
   Private Sub Form_Load()
    first_time = True
   End Sub
 
   Private Sub ListViewCtrl1_ItemClick(ByVal Index As Long)
    If Not first_time Then
       List1.AddItem "ItemClick fired."
    End If
   End Sub
