#8 Child Form constructor parameters exposed in the OnBeforeChildFormExecuted event of a ListView
A new event argument parameter in the OnBeforeChildFormExecuted event called ChildFormParameters. By adding parms to this collection they will be passed on to the calling of the ChildFormDialog like this: ChildForm.ShowDialog(ChildFormParameters.ToArray()). This gives the developer the ultimate control in automation of a child form call through a ListView. Hi Trent/Dustin, Could you please provide a sample code on how to pass the parameter to the ChildFormDialog? I checked the e.ChildFormParameters in the ListView.BeforeChildFormExecuted but this property is ReadOnly and also I don't now how I would add the parameters I need to send to the ChildFormDialog.

StrataListView Enhancements
Both of these are simply properties of the StrataListViewSubItem and StrataListViewItem respectively. Here is a block of code from the attached sample app that demonstrates this:Hi Dustin, After looking at the sample I noticed that you said these properties are for the new StrataListView not the SF ListView as listed in the release documentations, that is why I was looking at the wrong control. Please you have to add the automation feature in the current SF ListView to the new StrataListView so we can start replacing the old one with the new one and be able to provide test feedback. In my case I use the SF ListView in most of my forms and it would be challenge to manually update all the population settings and childform automations to the new StrataListView. P.S. Thanks for the sample, pretty interesting approach. Hope you can clarify my previous thread about ChildFormDialog parameters using the SF ListView automation features.

Edhy,
I assume that you are just wanted to know when we are going to add the automation logic, right? If that is the case, then we will be doing this before the final release of 1.7.0.0. We have a need for this as well, but this control has grown so much that we didn't want to do add this until it was not so fluid in enhancements.

Hi Trent, Glad to see you back! No, it is not that, I cannot see how to use the new childFormDialog parameters with the current SF ListView automation. If you don't mind, please read the thread since I explained this several times but guess was not understood.

Also on the same update, steps 5 & 6 I understand that these changes refer to the current StrataFrame Listview not the StrataListView in beta. I could not find a way to access a cell to change its background or the AdditionalItemHeight property. Could you please provide quick sample code or more specific detail on how to start using those new features? No, this is in regards to the new SF ListView, not the old one. I can provide a sample, but this is for the new list view. As I said in the original message, the e.ChildFormParameters in the ListView.BeforeChildFormExecuted is ReadOnly. It is supposed to be readonly, it is a collection. You don't override the collection instance, you add items to it: CSharp
int myParm2 = 2;
e.ChildFormParameters.Add("MyParm1");
e.ChildFormParameters.Add(myParm2);
VB.NET
Dim myParm2 As Integer = 2
e.ChildFormParameters.Add("MyParm1")
e.ChildFormParameters.Add(myParm2)

I can provide a sample, but this is for the new list view.Thanks but Dustin already provided a sample on this one clarifying that it was referring to the new StrataListView. Thanks for the sample code for the parameters, it is very simple now.
