List View *** RESOLVED******

[vbnet20]

Hello

I have created a entry form that has a couple of comboboxes

text boxes extc.. Now I also have a listview in the detail view that I am using to store some of these values that the user enters Now all I need to know is how do I delete a row that the user has selected

I know I will use the listview.checkboxes to see if the user has selected that item but today I seem to be having a mental lapse

thanks for the assistance

ListView1.CheckedItems.Item(0).Remove()

Thanks

It works on the first item I try to delete however if I scroll up or down and try to delete another checked item it doesnt delete the item that I checked off so I used the following code to only delete the checked item,
If ListView1.CheckedItems.Item(0).Checked = True Then
ListView1.CheckedItems.Item(0).Remove()
End If

but I still have the problem of deleting items any suggestions
Thanks

FYI, you need to check if there are any CheckedItems (if .Count > 0). In addition, when you're testing a boolean expression, you don't need to do "if BooleanValue = true then" -- just do "if BooleanValue then".

The CheckedItem collection will ONLY contain listview items that are checked, so you don't need to test if the checked value is true. If you want to delete all the checked items, then just remove the index 0 item .Count times.

Do you know of any good books out there that talks
extensively about windows controls

[VictorB212]

I haven't bought any myself, but I'd say a trip to your local Barnes & Noble or other big bookstore should prove fruitful -- there are lots of VS.NET books out there. A search tip -- books on "Windows.Forms" should contain lots about controls.

I have Mastering Visual Basic .NET (Sybex) . It's reference book contains 1200 pages . It's great book . In intermediate level , it talks about ListView and TreeView controls in details .

Pirate: Does it talk about altering them (like adding 3-state checkboxes or putting icons in the listview header)?

I was going through the book but never mentioned these issues . It talks about sorting & and stuff but it's really more than intermediate level . Here is the content (weird they didn't mention it ) : http://www.sybex.com/sybexbooks.nsf/...e!OpenDocument

Yeah Pirate


I have a couple of books Programming Visual Basic.net
and Programming Windows using Visual Basic.net and they cover
some controls but they donot seem to cover advanced topics and these books are considered intermediate to advanced and funny thing victorb I was just in the book store yesterday trying to find a book that covered listview,datagrid or anyother windows contol in great detail. Like for example most books that talk about the datagrid use a database suppose you want to work with arrays
I know how to but I am just using that as an example
