Items.Edit Method (ExplorerTree)

The Edit method starts edit operation. The edit operation starts only if the group's AllowEdit property is True. When the edit operation starts the control fires the BeforeCellEdit event. Use the BeforeCellEdit event to cancel the edit operation. When the edit operation ends the control fires the AfterCellEdit event. Use the AfterCellEdit event to change the cell's caption after edit operation ends. The following snippet of code shows how to start editing the first cell: Group.Items.Edit Group.Items(0), 0.

The following sample shows how to change the cell's caption when the edit operation ends.

Private Sub ExplorerTree1_AfterCellEdit(ByVal Group As EXPLORERTREELibCtl.IGroup, ByVal Item As EXPLORERTREELibCtl.HITEM, ByVal ColIndex As Long, ByVal NewCaption As String)
    Group.Items.CellCaption(Item, ColIndex) = NewCaption
End Sub

Note: A cell is the intersection of an item with a column. All properties that has an Item and a ColIndex parameters are referring to a cell. The Item parameter represents the handle of an item, and the ColIndex parameter indicates an index ( a numerical value, see Column.Index property ) of a column , the column's caption ( a string value, see Column.Caption property ), or a handle to a cell. Here's few hints how to use properties with Item and ColIndex parameters:

Group.Items.CellBold(, Group.Items.ItemCell(Group.Items(0), 0)) = True
Group.Items.CellBold(Group.Items(0), 0) = True
Group.Items.CellBold(Group.Items(0), "ColumnName") = True

		Type	Description
		Item as Variant	A long expression that indicates the item's handle.
		ColIndex as Variant	A long expression that indicates the column's index, a string expression that indicates the column's caption or the column's key.
