Visual Basic :: Listview Always One Item Selected

Keep Listview Selected Item Selected
I've been searching the site this morning and I've seen this question asked numerous times and the answer appears to be no. I thought I'd try again in case there is a fresh set of eyes out there.

I'm working on a preexisting production form and the person that designed it coded a series of combo boxes next to a series of listviews as user controls. When a combo box loses focus the selected item remains the default selected blue color. When the listview loses focus the selected item's color is a light gray.

I would like the listview selected item to remain blue like the combo boxes so the appearance is uniform.

The user community has lived with this for quite some time so I can't justify the time to rework the form. But if someone knows how to keep the selected item blue when the listview loses focus I'll plug it in though.

Listview Get Currently Selected Item
Is there a way to get the currently selecteditems text for a listview. I'm using vb 2005 and I don't see how to get a listview currently selecteditem. Someone please help me

Thanks for any help

Listview Selected Item
How can i get the selected item of a listview in another form ???

I have tried with this code:

Code:
Public Function geselecteerdLid() As Integer
Dim iLidID As Integer
Dim oItem As ListViewItem
For Each oItem In lvwLeden.SelectedItems
iLidID = Convert.ToInt32(oItem.Text)
Return iLidID
Next
End Function
and in another form i refer to this with

Code:
Private Sub btnOk_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOk.Click
Dim oForm As New frmLid
MessageBox.Show(oForm.geselecteerdLid)
End Sub
the result of this is always 0, i guess this is because i make an object of the form where my listview is (frmLid)

How To Get Listview Selected Item?
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
With lvwSpecies
' Add three columns to the list - one for each data type.
' Note that the data type is set in the column header's
' tag in each case

.ColumnHeaders.Add(, , strHeader(0)).Tag = "STRING"
.ColumnHeaders.Add(, , strHeader(1)).Tag = "STRING"
.ColumnHeaders.Add(, , strHeader(2)).Tag = "String"
' Set the column alignment - has no bearing on the sorts.

.ColumnHeaders(1).Alignment = lvwColumnLeft
.ColumnHeaders(2).Alignment = lvwColumnCenter
.ColumnHeaders(3).Alignment = lvwColumnCenter

.ColumnHeaders(2).Width = 3000
'Populate the list with data in Species files
Dim intCounter As Integer
With .ListItems
For intCounter = LBound(codeTypeArray) To UBound(codeTypeArray)
With .Add(, , codeTypeArray(intCounter).strCode)
.ListSubItems.Add , , codeTypeArray(intCounter).strCodeInfo
.ListSubItems.Add , , str(codeTypeArray(intCounter).intMaxNumber)
End With
Next
End With
End With

End Sub

Private Sub ok_Click()
Dim str As String
str = lvwSpecies.text

'what should go here if i want to get the text of select item? i just
'need the text of first colum.

End Sub
Is there a way to get the item text?
Thanks

Listview - Selected Item
Dear All,

I have an access DB connected to a Treeview and a listview.

Navigation is done by ADO unbound.

How do I connect the highlighted item in the listview with a particular database recordset?

Say for example:

I click on the Next_Record button I would like the Cursor (Highlighted blue area) to move to the next record displayed in the listview corresponding to the correct database record.

Prev_Record button will move the blue highlighted area one position up in the listview and so forth...

Any ideas?

TIA

Listview: Has Any Item Been Selected?
In a listview, how do I know whether any item has been selected? ListView.SelectedItem returns a number even if no line has been clicked on.

ListView Selected Item!
In a WebBrowser project, a ListView acts as the history window. This ListView comes up when the History button is clicked. Each URL is represented in the ListView by the title of that URL (like IE). For e.g. if the user has visited http://www.yahoo.com, it's title i.e. Yahoo! will get listed in the history ListView. Users have been given the option to delete any URL/s from the ListView.

Assume that currently I am viewing http://www.yahoo.com. If the history ListView is now invoked, Yahoo! will be highlighted in the ListView (since I am presently viewing http://www.yahoo.com). Suppose I delete any other URL in the ListView. Under such circumstances, the very first URL gets highlighted in the ListView but I want Yahoo! to remain highlighted in the ListView after that URL is deleted from. How do I accomplish this?

ListView Selected Item!
In a WebBrowser project, I am using a ListView which acts as a "history" window (like how IE opens a side-window when the history icon is clicked on the toolbar). As is evident, the ListView lists all the URLs that a user has visited.

When I click an item in the ListView, I want that after the appropriate web page gets downloaded completely, the item selected should remain highlighted which is why I have set the ListView's HideSelection property to False.

Assume that I click the 5th item in the ListView. When I do so, the selected URL gets highlighted & the browser navigates to the corresponding URL but after the web page gets downloaded completely, the first item in the ListView gets highlighted but I want the item that was clicked by the user should remain highlighted after the web page loads completely. In other words, I want the 5th item in the ListView to remain highlighted after the web page loads (since I had clicked the 5th item in the ListView). How do I implement this?

Whenever the ListView loads, the first item in the ListView is seen highlighted (as HideSelection is set to False) but I don't want the 1st item (or for that matter, any of the items) in the ListView to get highlighted whenever the ListView loads i.e. none of the items should be highlighted whenever the ListView loads. How do I do this?

Listview Selected Item

Thanks ahead of time.

ListView Syntax For No Selected Item
This should be super easy. How do I check a listview to see if there are no selected items?

I have a search form that loads up a listview with search results. The user can select an item from the list, and then click a command button to take them to the form for editing the selection.

I'm trying to add protection against the edit form trying to open without a valid selection in the list box.

Private Sub cmdEditProduct_Click()
If (there isn't anything selected in the list box) Then
MsgBox "hey select something to edit - geez!"
Else
'open the edit form blah
End If
End Sub

Can't seem to find the syntax for the 'list box has nothing selected'
Any help is much appreciated.

Find Selected Item In ListView
Hi there. I hope someone can help me out.

I'm trying to find which row is selected in a ListView without having to loop through all the rows. Only one item can be selected at a time, so that should make it somewhat easier. I just need it to be fast since the lists can grow to well over 150,000 items!

Thanks!

Moving The Selected Item In Listview
****
I solved the problem, thanks to all for your attempt at helping.

Here is the code:

Set ListView.SelectedItem = ListView.ListItems(i)
****

I have a Listview populating from a database and sorts the data alphabetically.

Now when the user deletes an item from the database, it also refreshes the listview.

The question I have is, the listview always sets focus to the last item it added, however it does not add them alphabetically, so after there added and the listveiw sorts them, the item selected could be anywhere!? How can I have this list view set focus to the first entry? Or better yet one that I specify or has been saved (IE save the record ID when they exit the prog, so when they come back I can pull that and set focus to that item)??

Thanks for the help.

Checking If Any Listview Item Selected
I have a listview populated. When a user clicks a certain button I need to verify that any item in the listview is selected.

ListView: Determine Which Item Selected First?
Hi Gurus,

I have a listview with the MultiSelect set to True. If the user selects two items, is there any way to tell which one was selected first?

Right now I just iterate through the items and check the selected property, but I don't think that really depends on the order in which the items were selected.

I'm pretty sure I could simulate this using some global variables and the "Click" event (i.e., each time the user selects an item, store a reference to it and the previously selected item), but I just thought I'd see if someone else has encountered this problem before.

Thanks!
