Rename item in a listview c# WinForms

Question

i would like to know how can i change the name of a ListView item in the traditional select>F2>edit>enter manner. How can i open that little editable textbox just over the item?

Answer 1

Set the LabelEdit property to true. Add a KeyDown event handler to recognize the F2 keystroke. Like this:

    private void listView1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) {
        if (e.KeyData == Keys.F2 && listView1.SelectedItems.Count > 0) {
            listView1.SelectedItems[0].BeginEdit();
        }
    }
