Answer 1

I'm using some similar for ListView. Method is:

1. Create TextBox, add to Controls array, and hide one.

   innerTextBox.Size = new Size(0, 0);

   innerTextBox.Location = new Point(0, 0);

   this.Controls.AddRange(new Control[] { this.innerTextBox });

   innerTextBox.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(this.EditOver);

   innerTextBox.LostFocus += new EventHandler(this.FocusOver);

   innerTextBox.Hide();

   innerTextBox.Text = "";

2. On DoubleClick event bind own method where find selected Item and get value to TextBox

   this.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(this.EditableDoubleClick);

   private void EditableDoubleClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {

   selectedItemText = selectedItem.ToString();

   innerTextBox.Size = new Size(subItemRect.right - subItemRect.left, subItemRect.bottom - subItemRect.top);

   innerTextBox.Location = new Point(subItemRect.left, subItemRect.top);

   innerTextBox.Show();

   innerTextBox.Text = selectedItemText;

   }

3. On lost focus in TextBox - set value back into selected item.

   selectedItem = innerTextBox.Text;
