List view, selected item, and keyboard

Hi all,

I have a list view in which I delete items and move items to the end. When items are moved or deleted I want the focused item to be the one following the moved or deleted item. So I delete the item, create one at the end, and use _GUICtrlListView_SetItemState to set selected and focused state on the item following the one that was moved. When I move using the button, it works as desired. However, when I use the CTRL+End key, when I read back the status after setting it it is set, and the state on the last item is clear, but the last item is still highlighted. What do I need to do so that I don't lose my place in the list view when I use the CTRL+END key? Below is a test script that I hope illustrates what I mean. The script initially sets the focus on the second item. Then push the move button. The second item moves to the end and what was the 3rd item is selected as desired. Then restart the script but use the CTRL+END key while focused on the list view. The second item moves to the end of the list and what was the 3rd item should be selected (and focused), but instead the last item is selected.

I'm using WINXP SP3.

[update: I added code (updated below) to allow underline to also move to the end. It does not have the same problem as CTRL+END. It does emit a ding, which CTRL+END does not. Any idea why the ding? I assume CTRL+END is behaving the way it is because the list view processes arrow keys even though I'm catching LVN_KEYDOWN. Is there any way to get it to not do that processing when I catch the key?]

[Okay, I got rid of the references to LbC.au3. (Layout by Code is a library designed to assist blind programmers with GUI layout. It can generate code to make the UI so that it doesn't have to be included.)]

Thanks.

Put your demo script in SciTE4AutoIt3 and hit Ctrl-F5 to do syntax check. Re-post it after eliminating the errors.

:huh2:

Edit: Sorry, I missed that you were already going to update it.
