[RESOLVED] Works in compiler, not when compiled

[bail3yz]

Hi, this chunk of code works when I run my project from withing VB, but once i compile it doesnt work

For i = 0 To numofItems - 1
    If SendMessage(listhwnd, LVM_GETITEMSTATE, i, LVIS_FOCUSED) = 2 Then
        curPosition = i
        Exit For
    End If
Next i

basically it goes through the list and checks which item has focus.. and changes curposition to that item on the list

also, I have checked everything i can think of numofitems does equal the correct value all the time

so i am pretty sure

If SendMessage(listhwnd, LVM_GETITEMSTATE, i, LVIS_FOCUSED) = 2 Then

somehow doesnt work once its compiled, any idea why?
