Hello

Env: VS2010 SP1, Win7

I use CMFCListCtrl class in MFC application and it works well. However, Microsoft find great ( I guess.. )to have automatic row selection once you left the mouse a few seconds over a row of the CMFCListCtrl control.... Ooops, looks more than annoying...

Do you have any idea how to prevent this feature ?

Thanks for your help ...

I believe you are talking about hot select, or hover feature enabled by adding LVS_EX_TRACKSELECT style.

From beloved Microsoft documentation.

Enables hot-track selection in a list-view control. Hot track selection means that an item is automatically selected when the cursor remains over the item for a certain period of time. The delay can be changed from the default system setting with a LVM_SETHOVERTIME message. This style applies to all styles of list-view control. You can check whether hot-track selection is enabled by calling SystemParametersInfo.
