SYMPTOMS
========

The ItemClick event fires after the first ListItem is added to a ListView, even
though the item was not clicked.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The ItemClick event fires only after adding the first item. Adding more items
does not fire the ItemClick event.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Start a new Windows CE HPC Project or Windows CE HPC Pro Project in Visual
  Basic. Form1 is created by default.

2. Select Components from the Project menu and select the Microsoft CE ListView
  Control 6.0.

3. Add a ListBox, CommandButton, and ListView control to Form1.

4. Paste the following code into Form1:

  Private Sub Command1_Click()
     ListViewCtrl1.ListItems.Add , , "Item One"
  End Sub

  Private Sub ListViewCtrl1_ItemClick(ByVal Index As Long)
     List1.AddItem "ItemClick fired."
  End Sub

5. Run the project on the target platform.

6. Click the CommandButton, and note that the first ListItem is added to the
  ListView and the ItemClick event fires.

WorkAround
----------

You can use the following code as a work around for this behavior:

     Option Explicit
     Dim first_time As Boolean
   
     Private Sub Command1_Click()
      If first_time Then
         ListViewCtrl1.ListItems.Add , , ""
         ListViewCtrl1.ListItems.Add , , "Item One"
         ListViewCtrl1.ListItems.Remove (1)
         first_time = False
      Else
         ListViewCtrl1.ListItems.Add , , "Item One"
      End If
     End Sub
   
     Private Sub Form_Load()
      first_time = True
     End Sub
   
     Private Sub ListViewCtrl1_ItemClick(ByVal Index As Long)
      If Not first_time Then
         List1.AddItem "ItemClick fired."
      End If
     End Sub
