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:

Dim item As ListViewItem
            For Each item In LstDet.Items
                item.ForeColor = LstDet.ForeColor
                item.Font = New Font(LstDet.Font, FontStyle.Regular)
            Next
            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:

ListView1.HideSelection=False

You're right.

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

Maybe I did not like the greying effect.

thanx taxes and pax for the response. both methods helped solve my issue.


thanx again.
