[RESOLVED] Custom objects to populate Listview Items collection

[Mr.No]

Hi

I have created a class by inheriting the ListViewItem and then added some new properties. I then use this inherited class to define objects that I add to my listview. My question is, how do I pick up the new properties when I click on an item.

Class CMyItem
   inherits ListViewItem
 
   Public ComponentName as string
   Public AccessID as Long
   Public Sub New(byval agStrCompName as string, byval agLngAccessID as Long)
 
      ComponentName = agStrCompName
      AccessID = agLngAccessID
   End Sub
End Class
 
' In a form I add items to my listview as follows
  Dim objItem as CMyItem
 
  objItem = new CMyItem("ComponentA", 16)
 
  ListView1.Add(objItem)
 
 
  Private Sub ListView1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles ListView1.Click
        ' How do I pick up the Componentname property from my custome made item that populates the listview
    End Sub

Now I could be using an incorrect approach, I would welcome any alernatives. Just bear in mind that I want to populate my listview with custom made objects that would expose my new properties.

Thanks for your help.

I took the liberty to add 2 properties as well.

Class CMyItem
    Inherits ListViewItem

    Dim m_ComponentName As String
    Dim m_AccessID As Long

    Public Sub New(ByVal agStrCompName As String, _
        ByVal agLngAccessID As Long)
        ComponentName = agStrCompName
        AccessID = agLngAccessID
    End Sub

    Property ComponentName()
        Get
            Return m_ComponentName
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value)
            m_ComponentName = Value
        End Set
    End Property

    Property AccessID()
        Get
            Return m_AccessID
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value)
            m_AccessID = Value
        End Set
    End Property

End Class

to get something back you can do something like this.....

MsgBox(DirectCast(ListView1.SelectedItems.Item(0), CMyItem).AccessID)
