Disable listview item select

[furrycow]

OK, i have an x number of items in a listview, which the program scrolls through highlighting each row seperatly before moving onto the next, but i dont want the user to be able to click in the control at all. Now, i know its poss to GUICtrlSetState() the control, but i dont want the background to "grey" out (and GUICtrlSetBkColor() doesnt work after disabling).

I was thinking i could wack a transparent png over the top of the listview, but this seems like a lot of effort for just the simple task of not letting the user click inside the control.

Any simple solutions? ive checked helpfile, a load of topics on here too, cant find anything about it .

Just as a quick example heres some code of what i mean...and as you can see while it is scrolling through you are able to click any of the other items..just to clarify..visually, i want it to look exactly like this, however i dont want there to be any input from the user possible. TIA.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 398, 245, 193, 125)
$ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Item Number", 8, 8, 289, 225)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

_GUICtrlListView_BeginUpdate($ListView1)
For $i=0 To 100
_GUICtrlListView_AddItem($ListView1,$i,$i)
Next
_GUICtrlListView_EndUpdate($ListView1)

For $i=0 To 100
_GUICtrlListView_SetItemSelected($ListView1, $i, True, True)

Sleep(200)
_GUICtrlListView_Scroll($ListView1, 0, 16)
Next
Sleep(2000)

Found quick solution from searching the forums:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 398, 245, 193, 125)
$ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Item Number", 8, 8, 289, 225, $LVS_SINGLESEL)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

_GUICtrlListView_BeginUpdate($ListView1)
For $i=0 To 100
$item = _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($ListView1,$i,$i)
GUICtrlSetState( $item, @SW_LOCK )
Next
_GUICtrlListView_EndUpdate($ListView1)


$cover = GUICtrlCreateLabel("",8, 8, 289, 225); blocking the control!
GUICtrlSetState($cover,$GUI_ONTOP)


For $i=0 To 20
_GUICtrlListView_SetItemSelected($ListView1, $i, True, True)
Sleep(200)
_GUICtrlListView_Scroll($ListView1, 0, 16)
Next
Sleep(2000)

YES! Thank you, works perfectly! sticking a label on top was certainly a lot easier that doing the whole png thing, thanks again!
