Hello,
I see Andrew Graham's Dialogs library, and the discussion that goes along with it.
I would like to make a ListView (LV) to act as kind of the equivalent of a Windows Drop List. the LV would accept an array of strings, would show a modal LV, return the string value of the item that was clicked and close allowing the calling routine to continue.
The difference between this and a dialog is that no "OK" button needs to be pressed.
Is there an example of how to implement a Modal dialog? DoEvents is not quite right, using a timer is not quite right, stringing subroutines is not quite right – AG speaks of using the MessageBox modal mechanism. Is there a description of this?
I find that I frequently want to do something like this – a WaitFor or a Sleep. Any suggestions or hints?
Thanks,
Barry.
