Subclass

Let's draw a little picture. Let's say I want to avoid the hover-selection in a ListView. For example, when you can see the dotted-line rectangle that selects the items in a ListView (like when you press the Shift in the desktop and move the mouse to select several items). What's the message I should "remove" from the ListView to avoid this selection being made? Is there any other way to do this?

To prevent multiple selections, set the MultiSelect property of the ListView to False

Ok, but... would that avoid the dotted-rectangle selection as well? I'm not doing anything to get this "rectangle", but some stupid event seems to fire it and start selecting items. Would .MultipleSelect = False be a solution?

If you're referring to the Band that you can drag around several items to select them all - yes.

Ok, then... I'll set the MultiSelect to false and have a timer to set it back to true after some little time. Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes.

I have had this problem. the only way I could get around it was to place the focus to on an off screen item first thing after page load.

I tried something like this. Seems to be working. I'll let you know otherwise. Thanks for the tip.
