Examples

The following code example demonstrates using the SelectedItems, SelectedIndexChanged event, and HeaderStyle members and the ListView.SelectedListViewItemCollection class. To run this example, paste the following code in a form that contains a ListView object named ListView1 and a TextBox named TextBox1. Call the InitializeListView method from the form's constructor or the Load event handler. This example requires that the event handler is correctly associated with the SelectedIndexChanged event

// This method adds two columns to the ListView, setting the Text 
// and TextAlign, and Width properties of each ColumnHeader.  The 
// HeaderStyle property is set to NonClickable since the ColumnClick 
// event is not handled.  Finally the method adds ListViewItems and 
// SubItems to each column.
void InitializeListView()
{
   this->ListView1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::ListView;
   this->ListView1->BackColor = System::Drawing::SystemColors::Control;
   this->ListView1->Dock = System::Windows::Forms::DockStyle::Top;
   this->ListView1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 0, 0 );
   this->ListView1->Name = "ListView1";
   this->ListView1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 292, 130 );
   this->ListView1->TabIndex = 0;
   this->ListView1->View = System::Windows::Forms::View::Details;
   this->ListView1->MultiSelect = true;
   this->ListView1->HideSelection = false;
   this->ListView1->HeaderStyle = ColumnHeaderStyle::Nonclickable;
   ColumnHeader^ columnHeader1 = gcnew ColumnHeader;
   columnHeader1->Text = "Breakfast Item";
   columnHeader1->TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment::Left;
   columnHeader1->Width = 146;
   ColumnHeader^ columnHeader2 = gcnew ColumnHeader;
   columnHeader2->Text = "Price Each";
   columnHeader2->TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment::Center;
   columnHeader2->Width = 142;
   this->ListView1->Columns->Add( columnHeader1 );
   this->ListView1->Columns->Add( columnHeader2 );

   {
      ListViewItem^ listItem = gcnew ListViewItem( foodList[ count ] );
      listItem->SubItems->Add( foodPrice[ count ] );
      ListView1->Items->Add( listItem );

   }

Remarks

A ListView.SelectedListViewItemCollection stores the selected items in a ListView control. The items stored in the ListView.SelectedListViewItemCollection are items contained in the ListView.ListViewItemCollection. The ListView.ListViewItemCollection stores all items displayed in the ListView.

The following table shows an example of how the ListView.ListViewItemCollection stores the items of the ListView as well as their selection states in an example ListView control.

Index Item Selection state in the ListView
0 Item1 Unselected
1 Item2 Selected
2 Item3 Unselected
3 Item4 Selected
4 Item5 Selected

Based on the ListView.ListViewItemCollection example in the previous table, the following table demonstrates how the ListView.SelectedListViewItemCollection would appear.

Index Selected item in the ListViewItemCollection
0 Item2
1 Item4
2 Item5

You can use the properties and methods of this class to perform a variety of tasks with the collection. The Contains method enables you to determine whether an item from the ListView.ListViewItemCollection class is a member of the ListView.SelectedListViewItemCollection. Once you know that the item is in the collection, you can use the IndexOf method to determine the position of the item in the ListView.SelectedListViewItemCollection.
