In that case, your earlier code sample is still a little off because it does
not get the HWND of the actual ListView itself.  After verifying with Spy++
what you said, I see that you are obtaining the HWND of a class named
"SHELLDLL_DefView", which is a child of the Program Manager.  That shell
window is the owner of the actual ListView (classname "SysListView32").  It
is not the ListView itself.  You need to add an extra GetWindow() or
FindWindowEx() to get the HWND of the actual ListView once you have the
containing owner.
