i have a list view that is 5 columns and i have it so i can select multiple items. I can get all the items names from column one just fine but i need a msgbox to display that selected items subitem(1).

the below code im using gets me one item but if i select multiple i get errors.
this is the layout of what data shows for the list view

1 | name | lastname | date | install

For Each sITEM In Zheap_num

For multiple selection in ListView you have to set the MultiSelect property of ListView to true. Then use the SelectedItems property, which returns SelectedListViewItemCollection
Then iterate this collection to get the Text property of each sub item

VB

'In the form load event set
CAE_ListView.MultiSelect=True

'Iterate the selected items
Dim Msg as string=""
For Each sITEM as ListViewItem In CAE_Listview.SelectedItems
    Msg &= sITEM.Subitems(1).Text & VbCrLf
Next
MessageBox.Show(Msg)
