Forcing edit mode in a tlistview via a keypress

Question: When the user clicks on a caption in the listview, it goes into edit mode. How can I force the edit mode by pressing F2 or a similar key? Answer: The following example demonstrates trapping the F2 key in a Listview control and forcing the caption into edit mode. Example: procedure TForm1.ListView1KeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState); begin if Ord(Key) = VK_F2 then ListView1.Selected.EditCaption; end;
