Listview Events in VB.NET

hello all,
I have a problem in Listview Control Events. In Earlier version Vb6
the Item Check event & DoubleClick Event were two Different events.
Suppose i check the listview item it will call only ItemCheck event & Doubleclick event
will call only Doubleclick event.But in .Net if i DoubleClick the item in listview it will first call the
itemCheck event & then calls the DoubleClick event.

So I need a solution where DoubleClicking the item should not call the ItemCheckEvent.

It would be great help if you help in this regard.

Thanks,

I had the same problem and worked around it by using a thread fired off from the ItemCheck event, and a global boolean value to act as a control like so -

In ItemCheck event -
-Set global value to False
-Create thread to do your routine and make it sleep for 100 miliseconds
e.g.
DoubleClicked = False
Dim CheckComplete AsNew Threading.Thread(AddressOf ItemCheckRoutine)
CheckComplete.Sleep(200)
CheckComplete.Start()

In DoubleClick event -
-Set global value to True
-Run normal routine (as a double click is not called with a ItemCheck so the check is one way)
e.g.
DoubleClicked = True

In ItemCheckRoutine thread -
- Check global value for double click event (set to True) and skip your code if it is.
e.g.
If DoubleClicked = False ' i.e. no double click event has occured
'Do your stuff
End If

It's not ideal, and it does cause a slight delay when the item checkbox is clicked (no delay for double click) but it's the only way i could think of getting around the problem If anyone has a better idea please let me know.

Hope that makes sense and helps.
