    Question make item have selected effect in listview when listview loses focus *RESOLVED*

    does anyone know how to make an item in a listview appear selected after the listview loses focus. everytime i select an item in a listview and the listview loses focus, the item no longer appears selected even though it is, ie the highlighting disappears. can anyone tell me how to make it stay visiable.


    thanx in advance

    Hi

    Put the following in the ListBox_SelectedIndexChanged event.

    VB Code:
    1. Dim item As ListViewItem

    2.             For Each item In LstDet.Items

    3.                 item.ForeColor = LstDet.ForeColor

    4.                 item.Font = New Font(LstDet.Font, FontStyle.Regular)

    5.             Next

    6.             LstDet.Items(LstDet.SelectedIndices(0)).Font = New Font(Font, FontStyle.Bold)

    This will reset all List View entries to normal font and then highlight the last one selected. When the ListBox loses focus the highlight will remain.

    I think this is the easiest way.
    VB Code:
    1. ListView1.HideSelection=False
    I wish I could think of something witty to put in my sig...

    ...Currently using VS2013...

    You're right.

    I'm sure I tried that recently and found that it was not satisfactory, but I can't remember why

    Maybe I did not like the greying effect.
