[RESOLVED] refresh/populate listvew without losing selected VB6

[gian20]

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

[DataMiser]

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

[Españolita]

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

Set ListView1.SelectedItem = iSavedIndex

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

[gian20]

how to get the selected item by index

[DataMiser]

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.

[gian20]

from the above 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

[Españolita]

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

iSavedIndex = Listview1.SelectedItem.Index

Do your stuff
then

ListView1.SelectedItem.Index = iSavedIndex

Doesn't it work?

[DataMiser]

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.

[Españolita]

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

[gian20]

property is read-only (Error 383)

[gian20]

i have tried:

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

but it gives an error type mismatch

[gian20]

ok fixed the code added

Set

thank you! good night

[gian20]

w8, how can I scroll to the selected index

[gian20]

got it used:

lvP.SelectedItem.EnsureVisible

for those who needs the code im sharing it
