[RESOLVED] [2005] ListView double click help

[Giraffe Frenzy]

Hi Everyone,

I have a ListView box that I am populating from a query against my machine. I would like to be able to double click the data in the box and have a popup box display the text I double clicked.

For example,

If the ListView is displaying the word "hard drive", I would like to be able to double click "hard drive" and have a message box pop up displaying the text "hard drive".

I have tried using the below code, but it is not correct.

MsgBox(lvLocalDisk.SelectedItems.ToString)

NOTE: lvLocalDisk is the name of my ListView box.

When I double click the intended item, using the above code, I get the message box "System.Windows.Forms.ListView+SelectedListViewItemCollection"


Can anyone help me with my problem? Thanks!

That is because of this:

Public ReadOnly Property SelectedItems() As System.Windows.Forms.ListView.SelectedListViewItemCollection

So instead use:

MessageBox.Show(Me, lvLocalDisk.SelectedItems(0).ToString)

That was freehand so tweaking my be needed.
