Oh, a listVIEW, OK.
Try...

ListView1.Item(0).Selected = True
or something like that.

i did this and it works

VB Code:

lvwCateories.ListItems(1).Selected = True
    lvwCateories_Click

but the problem is the first item is not highlighted...

The ListItems array is probably zero based then try:

VB Code:

lvwCateories.ListItems(0).Selected = True

Also make sure in the properties that HideSelection is set to False or unchecked.
