Automatically detecting when a row in ListBox is being de selected

Title: Automatically detecting when a row in ListBox is being de-selected ? Question: A pragmatic approach to instantaneously detecting when a ListBox has been de-selected .( Delphi's OnSelCount doesn't effectively work when the focus transfers to another object / component ). Answer: { ************************************************************************** } { * * } { * Distribute as pleased................ * } { * * } { * Just give the author appropriate credits ;P * } { * * } { * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * } { * * } { * Willy Yeo * } { * will81@rocketmail.com * } { * * } { ************************************************************************** } // On the form's OnPaint() procedure, add this snippet of code to it : { ** Alternatively, you could place a TTimer component on the form and have it programmatically execute the statement below ( Depending in the area of use / functionality of the application you are writing..... ). ** } // Detects if the label has been de-selected everytime the form is painted If ( sendMessage( ListBox1.Handle, LB_GETCURSEL, 0, 0 ) = LB_ERR ) Then Begin MessageDlg( 'ListBox de-select detected!!!', mtConfirmation, [MBOK], 0 ); // Do stuff(s) here........... // ...........................etc End;
