all selected items unchecked when unchecking other items in listview

Hi guys...

Code:

---

For Each i As ListViewItem In Me.lvSent.Items

            If i.Checked = True Then
                i.Selected = True
            Else
                i.Selected = False

            End If
        Next

---

Using that code I can select items in my listview but when I unchecked one selected item, It unchecked all selected items.

thanks

I don't see anything in that code that is going to check or uncheck any items. That code is going to select all checked items and unselect all unchecked items. If you're seeing items get unchecked then that must be happening elsewhere.

wrong question please delete

Isn't that the way the control is supposed to work, otherwise how could the end user check or uncheck multiple items at the same time?

So I think you'll need to deselect the items first, then you can check/uncheck one item only, at least that is the way it works as an end user, I didn't actually try any code.

Hmmm... I wasn't aware of that. I just tested with a new project and no code and it does indeed behave that way.

Yes sir... It is only working in cheking multiple items.. but when I unchecked one checkbox all items were unselected. What I want is even if I unchecked other items. other items will still remains checked

As has already been said, that's how a ListView works. If you don;t want to uncheck multiple items then don't select multiple items. If you're really determined to make it appear to the user that it doesn't work that way when you uncheck an item in code then you could first add all the selected items to a list of your own, unselect them all, uncheck your item and then reselect the items in your list.

Unchecking a cell in a DataGridView will have no implicit effect on any other rows.
