BUG: Odd Behavior with Modal Dialog/Form in ListView ItemClick

RESOLUTION

This problem is a result of the modal form interrupting the normal flow of execution. To avoid this problem, do not show any modal forms or dialog boxes in code for the ItemClick event. If the ListView needs to be able to respond to an ItemClick and needs information from the item that was clicked on, one should save the ListItem object passed to the ItemClick event and use it in the Click event for the same ListView control. Any processing that needs to be completed when an item is clicked upon can be performed in the Click event with the saved ListItem object. The following code shows this technique by declaring and using private form-level variable of type ListItem. This variable is set in the ItemClick event (which is fired before the Click event) and then is used in the Click event that is fired immediately after the ItemClick.

   Private itmSaved As ListItem

   Private Sub ListView1_ItemClick(ByVal Item As ListItem)
      Set itmSaved = Item
   End Sub

   Private Sub ListView1_Click()
      MsgBox itmSaved.Text
   End Sub
