How to highlight full row when item is selected in ListView

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I set my ListView properties like this

ListView1.View = View.List
ListView1.FullRowSelect = True
ListView1.GridLines = True

But still when I select any item in ListView, the full row is not highlighted. It only highlight the icon with it's text. Is there any way I can highlight the whole row when selected? I already do some research but all I found are mention to set the FullRowSelected to True but that seems not working for me.

This is WinForms I assume?

Yes. It's a WinForms. Do you have any idea?

Nope, but if you switch to WPF I can help you :laugh:

Solution 1

Try below, just put in an event to your list view and get the index selected and replaced the zero below.

ListView1.Items[0].Selected = True

Thank you for your reply but I already did that and it isn't working too :(
I even set the ListView1.Focus() but still the same result.

Should this really be a "ListView1.View = View.List" or are you looking for Details?

I tried below on my formload and it was able to highlight.

ListView1.View = View.List
ListView1.FullRowSelect = True
ListView1.GridLines = True

For index As Integer = 0 To 3
ListView1.Items.Add("Number" & index.ToString()).SubItems.Add("text")
Next

ListView1.Items(1).Selected = True

Here is my coding that I currently use.

ListView1.View = View.List
ImageList1.ImageSize = New Size(32, 45)
ImageList1.Images.Clear()
ListView1.SmallImageList = ImageList1
ListView1.Items.Clear()
ListView1.FullRowSelect = True
ListView1.GridLines = True

For i = 0 To 9
Title = myList(0, i, 0) 'Path of image title inside my array
Img = myList(0, i, 2) 'Path of image url inside my array
If Title <> "" Then
ImageList1.Images.Add("imgKey" & i, New Icon(Img))
ListView1.Items.Add(Title, "imgKey" & i).Selected = True
ListView1.Focus()
End If
Next

Or maybe I do it wrong?

Never mind, it solved already. I just add column in my ListView and set the FullRowSelect to True and view as Details. By the way, thank you so much for your response. I appreciate it so much :)

Solution 2

if (this.listViewProjects.Items.Count > 0)
{
this.listViewProjects.Items[0].Selected = true;
this.listViewProjects.Items[0].Focused = true;
this.listViewProjects.Focus();
this.listViewProjects.FocusedItem = this.listViewProjects.Items[0];
}

I know the post is old, but this actually works if you only need the 1st item highlighted.

But what if I needed to highlight all the items that have a check mark?
Any suggestions?

I use this in DoDataExchange
m_ListCtrl.SetExtendedStyle(LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT);
