I'm writing some code in c# for a mobile device.

I have a list view that raises the ItemActivate event on a double click or by the user selecting an item using the cursor keys and pressing Enter.

This may be a silly question, but how can I determine whether it was the double click or the Enter/Return key pressed that raises the event? The EventArgs doesn't seem to have any concept of keypresses. I tried to enable an event handler for the KeyPress, but it raises the ItemActivate event first.

I'm fairly new to C# and .Net so excuse me if this is a little trivial.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,


Would the listView Capture property work for you? (e.g. listView1.Capture). It's a bool that tells you whether the listView Control has captured the mouse. I ran a quick test... when I clicked an item, it is TRUE, when I pressed Enter to select the item, it is FALSE...


Hope this helps..

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried this suggestion and it appears that when double clicking on the device screen (i.e. touchscreen device), it isn't setting the variable to indicate it's mouse activity (which I though it might do) as opposed to keyboard, in both instances it returns false.

Any other suggestions?

[EDIT]

I feel really stupid now....I had tried in the past using the Keypress event which didn't work, what I should have used was the KeyDown event, which does fire before the ItemActivate!

Did the KeyDown Event work for you?

Yeah, the KeyDown event works a treat.....silly mistake on my part really.

Nevermind - you live and learn.
