Accessing ListView Detail Column Data

[xpios]

Hi,

This is probably a dumb question, but I just haven't found a straightforward answer to it.

I have a listview running in Detail mode. Basically, it's a list of data with multiple columns of data. I know how to get the value of the first column of any record. However, sometimes I want to get the value of the other columns in the record. How do I do this?

Thanks in advance.

If I understand your question, then it's not too tough. All the rows in your detail view ListBox are considered ListViewItems. ListViewItems have a "subitems" property that lets you easily get at the "columns".

So, for example,

ListViewItem yourVar = YourListView.Items[0];

MessageBox.Show(yourVar.SubItems[1].Text);

will show you the second column. Does that help?

That was the ticket... thank you very much. I have to say the documentation is somewhat poor on how to do this. Your help is much appreciated.
