Visual Basic :: Select Listview Item By Right Click

Right-Click Select Item In ListView
Hi. How can I program a ListView so that when the user right-clicks on it, the corresponding item is selected just as if the user had left-clicked? I thought of the SendMessage API but then how do I convert the X and Y values from the ListView's MouseDown event into an lParam value? i.e. how do i do the opposite of extracting High and Low-Order words?
Thanks in advance.

Making Right-Click In A ListBox Select An Item Exactly Like The Left Click.
Heres a start:

Code:
Private Sub List1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
If Button = vbRightButton Then
'Place code to select the item
End Sub

I need help where the comment is. Thanks

Click Item In Listview Then Show That Item In Combo As Index = 0
Hi guys,

I have a listview (lvwUserPunchedOut) that is populated with records in a database (persons first name in one column and last name in the second column), what I am looking to do is if I select a persons name by clicking on it in the listview on frmMain, and then bring up frmSearchCriteria, i would like to show that selected name in the combobox as default (cboEmployee.ListIndex = 0) on frmSearchCriteria (the combobox is sorted = True and is also populated with first name and last name of the person)

How would this be done? Hope I make sense. Thanks in advance.

Right Click For Popup Menu, But Select The Item Right Clicked Upon [List Box]
Hi,
I have a list box which holds several list items (logs). I want to right click on the individual list items and select them (which only works with left click) and then show a popup menu.
The list item must be selected because the popup menu would have commands specific to the 1 file. E.g. delete log

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks in advance

Select First Item In Listview
Hi,

I have a somewhat simple problem and I am wondering what the simplest way to handle it is. I have a treeview that I am loading with some information about files in a specific directory. The listview is set to automatically sort the list and after all the nodes are added, I want to have the top node in the treeview be selected. But I don't have a reference to the first node in the list. Are there any properties that I can use to get the node that is at the top of the list?

Thanks,

ListView, Don't Want To Be Able To Select An Item
As the title says, I don't want to be able to select an item, I just want to list data, that's it.

I tried to unselect an item whenever i select one, but it still shows a doted rectangle around the selection.

This is the code I tried, but it does not really work.

VB Code:
Private Sub ListView1_ItemClick(ByVal Item As MSComctlLib.ListItem) Item.Selected = FalseEnd Sub

How To Select One Item Only In Listview
Hi,
To make sure only one item has it's checkbox 'checked' in a listview I run the following code in the 'item_check' event:

lvw.SelectedItem.Checked = True
lvw.SelectedItem.Bold = True
lvw.SelectedItem = lvw.ListItems(lvw.SelectedItem.Index)
lvw.SelectedItem.Bold = True

Which works fine. The problem is when the user clicks on the row rather than the checkbox itself. Doing this fires the 'click' event but the .selecteditem is now the row that has been selected rather the row it is coming from and I end up with two rows with their checkboxes checked.

I have tried to store the selecteditem before the click event fires but am not having much luck.

Please help!

Select Item In ListView By Value
Hi
I want to select an item in a ListView(Report Mode). I know the text but I dont know its index.

List.selectedItem=List.ListItems(Index_Obtained_in_Loop)

Is there any other direct way to slect the row of Listview, as we do for combobox or list box. Like, List.text="Value"

Forcing Listview Item Select
Hi,
I have a DirListBox that lists the directories and folders. When I double click on a folder, the names of documents in that folder are listed in a List View control called "filelist".

Though none of the items in the list view are visibly highlighted (selected),
"filelist.SelectedItem.Text" always gives me the text of the first item in the list view.

I either want the first item in the listview to be visibly highlighted when the list view gets populated or "filelist.SelectedItem.Text " should be empty meaning no ietm was selected.

I have a right click "Dlete File" option. Since the files are not visibly selected, right click->Delete File by default deletes the first file in the list view, but the user is left confused as to what was deleted as nothing seemed highlighted in the list view.

p.s: If you notice carefully, the filrst item has a dotted line around its text. But that is definitely not visible. I want the first item to be either clearly highlighted or have no item selected by default.

How To Select Item In A ListView At Runtime
At runtime, i need to select a row in the listview.

If row 10 is selected, i need to programmatically select row nine and get the values out of the columns for row 9, not row 10.

Does anyone know how to do this?

For example:

My listview looks like this

1 one
2 two
3 three
4 four
5 five

If the user selects row four, I need to move the highlighted row to row 3 and return the value for row three.

How can I do this?

Listview Item Click Grrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay I have a list control on a form. I fill the list view with files and subdirectorys in a folder. Fairly straight forward

when a user clicks on a subfoder it clears the listview and then shows files and subfolders of that folder (sound familiar ) however it now has somehow activated the mousedown event on the first item in the list and as soon as you move the mouse it drags it all over the show. Then if you click to deselect it.. it fires of my click event again on the item.

How can I stop this from happening

PS I tried putting item.selected = false at the end of the code in the item click event but becuase for a subfolder it clears and refills the listview I just recieve an error

If Button = vbRightButton Then
MsgBox "right-clicked"
Else
MsgBox "left-clicked"
End If

End Sub

Capturing A Double-click On A ListView Item
How would I go about detecting double clicks on ListView items? I've looked at the DblClick, ItemClick and Mousedown events, but it seems the only way I can effectively do it is detect a single click and then use a timer with a short interval and wait to see if another click event occurs within the interval (very long-winded, in other words). Come on, Windows uses it all the time, there HAS to be an easier way...
