SYMPTOMS
========

An application error occurs when a modal dialog or form is closed after being
shown from the ItemClick event of a ListView control in Microsoft Visual Basic.
The error only occurs if the ListView control is cleared in the ItemClick event
and an item other than the first item in the ListView was clicked.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this behavior, the ListView control must be disabled before it is
cleared. Once the ListView is cleared, the control can then be enabled.

  Private Sub ListView1_ItemClick(ByVal Item As MSComctlLib.ListItem)     ListView1.Enabled = False
     ListView1.ListItems.Clear
     ListView1.Enabled = True
     MsgBox "Cleared"
  End Sub

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Start a new Visual Basic Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.

2. On the Project menu, select Components. In the Components dialog box, select
  the Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 component and click OK.

3. Add a ListView control to Form1.

4. Add the following code to the General Declarations section of Form1:

  Private Sub Form_Load()
     ListView1.ListItems.Add , , "First"
     ListView1.ListItems.Add , , "Second"
  End Sub

  Private Sub ListView1_ItemClick(ByVal Item As MSComctlLib.ListItem)
     ListView1.ListItems.Clear
     MsgBox "Cleared"
  End Sub

5. Press the F5 key to run the program.

6. Click on the word "Second" that is contained within the ListView control.
  Notice that the message box dialog is displayed.

7. Close the dialog box and note that an Application Error occurs.
