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.
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 ); array<String^>^foodList = {"Juice","Coffee","Cereal & Milk","Fruit Plate","Toast & Jelly","Bagel & Cream Cheese"}; array<String^>^foodPrice = {"1.09","1.09","2.19","2.49","1.49","1.49"}; for ( int count = 0; count < foodList->Length; count++ ) { ListViewItem^ listItem = gcnew ListViewItem( foodList[ count ] ); listItem->SubItems->Add( foodPrice[ count ] ); ListView1->Items->Add( listItem ); } this->Controls->Add( ListView1 ); } ... // Uses the SelectedItems property to retrieve and tally the price // of the selected menu items. void ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged_UsingItems( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ ) { ListView::SelectedListViewItemCollection^ breakfast = this->ListView1->SelectedItems; double price = 0.0; System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum = breakfast->GetEnumerator(); while ( myEnum->MoveNext() ) { ListViewItem^ item = safe_cast<ListViewItem^>(myEnum->Current); price += Double::Parse( item->SubItems[ 1 ]->Text ); } // Output the price to TextBox1. TextBox1->Text = price.ToString(); }
