Hmm... if you run the example script for _GuiCtrlListView_EditLabel() you see the standard behavior that only the first subitem (text of the item) gets edited, even if you click on a different subitem. This is evidently deep JuJu in C++ land.

Since I have no C++ skills at all, I would catch the event (single left click on a subitem that was already in focus) and pop a separate edit in a small child GUI. Not what you asked for, but the best I could see.

Much smarter people may be able to show how to subclass the edit control of _GuiCtrlListView_EditLabel() to a different subitem in AutoIt. It will not be trivial, however it gets done.

Edit: Found an interesting alternative under VB that might be workable in AutoIt: Quoting "darkforcesjedi":

Search google for LVM_SUBITEMHITTEST. It's a windows message you can send to the listview's hWnd to find out what row/column a user clicks on. LVM_GETSUBITEMRECT will get the position and size of the list- or subitem. Then you can position a textbox in that RECT as you please to enable editing.

You'll need the SendMessage API as well.

I think he's saying detect the event and then simply put your own new edit control over top of the subitem's rect (screen position). Maybe that helps.

Yes. But it is a poor satisfaction.

It's my actual way. But it is not very fun...

I hope than "Much smarter people" read & answer. I hope...

@-salutations, & sorry for my bad english.

It is possible with (also for sub-items) in combination with WM_NOTIFY. There are unfortunately no good examples in the help file but take a look at the good example from Rasim: Posted by Rasim
