Syntax
HWND ListView_GetEditControl( HWND hwnd );
Parameters
hwnd
Handle to the list view control.
Remarks
If no label is being edited, the return value is NULL. The edit control is not created until after the LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT notification message is sent.
When the user completes or cancels editing, the edit control is destroyed and the handle is no longer valid. You can safely subclass the edit control, but you should not destroy it. To cancel editing, you can send the list view control a WM_CANCELMODE message.
The list view item being edited is the currently focused item—that is, the item in the focused state. To find an item based on its state, use the LVM_GETNEXTITEM message.
Return Values
The handle to the edit control indicates success. NULL indicates failure.
