List View Box that Selects Automatically

[cwalshe]

HI there,

I have a list view box that selects the first item by default. How can I code, so that it will select nothing unless none so by the user.

Rgds,

Cormac.

Try this

List1.ListIndex = -1

Let me know if this helps

No afraid not, listindex isn't supported by listview.

on the click and double click event disallow anything except list1.list(0)

if list1.listindex = 0 then
' do your actions
end if

Ok, so its a listview box, not a list. I imagine that there is a difference because listindex is not supported by listview.

I would have thought that this would be rather easy to do. I am assuming that listview boxes, by default, selected the first item, so basically I'd like to deselect that item.

I'm no longer sure what u are trying to achieve?

is it Selection of only the first item IE lstview1.nodes(0)

or are u trying to deny use of any other nodes IE
lstview.selecteditem <> 0

OK, so I have a listview box that is being populated from an external source. If at Form Load I ask what the selected item is, it says its the first item in the list. It seems to select the first by default. I want the app to load up and not select anything, ie selecteditem is equal to nothing. Then if the user clicks on a item etc, that item then becomes selected.

Sorry if I'm not explaining myself well and thx for the time.

Sorry I misread your original post.

Try

Dim x As ListItem
For Each x In ListView1.ListItems
x.Selected = False
Next

It works for me!
