list view items not selecting manually

[Brian Henry]

ok... how in the world do you get a list view item in detailed view to
manually select? I have tried this

Me.lstvJouranlEntries.Items(Me.lstvJouranlEntries.Items.IndexOf(lvItem)).Selected
= True



but when you do that, it is not visibly selected on screen, and does not
return a item when accessing the selecteditems collection to get the
selected items back... I found a site that kind of talks about this



http://www.devfish.net/FullBlogItemView.aspx?BlogId=59



but it is pretty vague on what to do, it says

lvItems.Items(3)
lvItems.Select()

but of course that is also bad code, you cant just do a items(index) method
with nothing else like that... what do you have to do to visibly select an
item on screen?

Brian,

An example of selecting a listview item in code:

ListView1.Items(1).Selected = True
ListView1.Select()

that unfortinuatly does not work for me, the list view still has no items
visibly selected on screen

Maybe you set it's HideSelection property = false and the list view does not
have the focus.
