Select All in TList view 1

[sggaunt]

You can select everyting in a list view (multi-select is on)by looping though all the items and setting selected true for each, however the selection is not 'visible' after this process, if a sigle item has been pre-seletd then the whole list will show as selected.
does anyone know how to make the selected list visible programatically ?

Try:

  ListView1.SelectAll;
  ListView1.SetFocus;

Hope this helps!

Stretch is right, although you do not need to use ListView1.SetFocus;

I only have D3 here and the list view has no 'SelectAll' method.
I am sure I tried this with D4 and there was no SelectAll method in that either, is this method a recent addition to the component?

I've got Delphi 7 now and this does have it, I used to use Delphi 5 and I'm pretty sure that had it too. I was thinking about the wrong component when I said you didnt need to put SetFocus; after the SelectAll; you do need to use it.

as for selecting all try this:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var i: integer;
begin
for i := 0 to ListView1.Items.Count - 1 do
         ListView1.Items[i].Selected := True;
ListView1.SetFocus;
end;
