ListView, a couple of questions on howto?

[Guest cgchris99]

I wanted to be able to tell which Item/Image was selected in a ListView. I have the multiselect set to false. I only want them to pick one item at a time.

 

So here is my code

 

test=iew.SelectedIndices(0)

 

This works only the first time they pick one. If they pick a different item in the list, it throws an exception.

 

Any ideas?

 

Second question.

Can I keep the selected image from turning blue? Or is there a way to have it display a different image for the selected one?

 

Thanks

I think there is a FocusedItem property to tell which item has the focus. I'm not sure about your second question, is there not a SelectedImage property of the ListItem class?

Protection for lvw.SelectedIndices

 

You need to protect the index selection. Make sure that there is only one item selected before using SelectedIndices.

Here's an example:

 

 If ListView1.SelectedItems.Count = 1 Then 
       intIndex = Int(ListView1.SelectedIndices(0))   

 

hope this helps. ;)

The last response is correct. If you step through the code, you'll find that the second time you process the event, selecteditems.count will be 0.

and to answer on you second question

you can change the image index of the selected index to give it another look :-)
