Selecting a row in ListView

[ravimeetsu]

Hi

 

A specific question is that whether I can select a particular row in List View, show the modified row as highlighted and know the row number ??

 

Regards and Thanks

Do you mean you want to select a row with a specific index? If so:

 

MyListView.Items(itemIndex).Selected = True

ravimeetsu sent me this PM, so I figured I'd answer it here.

 

Hi

 

Thanks for your concern. I will be more specific this time.

 

I want to modify certain row.

 

My first concern is how to let a user select a row and then how to know which row he selected.

 

For example is it possible for a user to click on a certain row, then I highlight it and then I delete / modify according to my requirement.

 

Please help me with this and feel free to suggest even outside the scope of the question.

 

Regards and Thanks,

When a row is selected by the user, the SelectedIndexChanged

event of the ListView control will fire. In this event, you can get

the selected item from the ListView and work with it (where lvw

is the name of the ListView control):

 

Private Sub lvw_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lvw.SelectedIndexChanged
 Dim selectedItem As ListViewItem

 selectedItem = lvw.SelectedItems(0)

 ' Do something with selectedItem
End Sub

 

If your ListView allows multiple selections by the user, then the

other selected items will also be in the SelectedItems collection of

the ListView.

Index number of selected Item?

 

Good answers in this thread, Bucky. One further question:

 

Is there a way to get the actual Index number of the selected item? (the sequential number in the ListView) ?

selectedItem.Index

Is there any way to get the text contained in that row into a string??

[Volte]

Dim s As String = ListView1.SelectedItems(0).Text

[Leeus]

Is it possible to get all columns in the row into a string? Sorry I wasn't clear before!

Set the listview property FullRowSelect to true.

[Volte]

You might try something like this:

Dim col As ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem
Dim ret As String

If ListView1.SelectedItems.Count > 0 Then
   For Each col In ListView1.SelectedItems(0).SubItems
       ret &= col.Text & "|"
   Next

   MessageBox.Show(ret)
End If

Brilliant, works great!
