[RESOLVED] refresh/populate listvew without losing selected VB6

I am trying to repopulate or refresh a listview but the problem is the selected item loses, how can I make the selected item(index), selected again when the listview refreshes???? I cannot find any answer to this question in VB6 :(

Have you tried storing the selected item in a var then setting the selecteditem = the var you used to hold it?

before you refresh the listview, save the index in another variable (iSavedIndex), refresh, then:

Code:

---

Set ListView1.SelectedItem = iSavedIndex

---

i know how to do it in listbox but in listview i dont know...

how to get the selected item by index

I think you would need to use a var that is defined as a listitem and assign it to the selecteditem from the list view then back again.

from the above code

vb Code:

dim isaveindex as integer
 
Private Sub lvP_ItemClick(ByVal Item As MSComctlLib.ListItem)
 isaveindex = Item.Index
 
End Sub
 
private sub cmdrefresh()
 Set lvProcess.SelectedItem = isaveindex '>> object required error
end sub

its not working

isn't the Index simply an Integer?
I don't know much about ListView but I would have thought

Code:

---

iSavedIndex = Listview1.SelectedItem.Index

---

Do your stuff
then

Code:

---

ListView1.SelectedItem.Index = iSavedIndex

---

Doesn't it work?

It may work, I have not actually tested it, not sure if the other method I gave would work either. The poster should try your method above and if that doesn't work try it with a listitem and report back the results.

I notice the OP used .ListItem instead of .SelectedItem. That may be the problem?

property is read-only (Error 383)

i have tried:

vb Code:

lvP.SelectedItem.Index = lvP.ListItems(iSavedIndex)

but it gives an error type mismatch

ok fixed the code added

vb Code:

Set

thank you! good night :)

w8, how can I scroll to the selected index

got it used:

vb Code:

lvP.SelectedItem.EnsureVisible

for those who needs the code im sharing it
