Updating labels from a listview

[Greg]

I'm trying to display record information in labels, I've
got a listview filled with records and when you click on
one of them I want that record's information shown in
several labels. This is how I'm trying to do it:

private void listView_MouseD own(object sender,
System.Windows. Forms.MouseEven tArgs e)
{
// gets currently selected record
li = listView.GetIte mAt(e.X,e.Y);
}

private void listView_Select edIndexChanged( object sender,
System.EventArg s e)
{
if( li != null )
lblNum.Text = li.SubItems[0].Text;
}

With this code li is always null! li is getting set
because my other functions have been using it fine, it
seems that when it tries to access it at this point it's
always null no matter what. I've also tried putting the
line 'lblNum.Text = li.SubItems[0].Text;' right below 'li
= listView.GetIte mAt(e.X,e.Y);' but it never updates the
label. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Greg

Do away with your mouse down handler. Access the listviewitems like this:

private void listView1_Click (object sender, System.EventArg s e)

{

Console.WriteLi ne("Item Text: " + listView1.Selec tedItems[0].Text);

Console.WriteLi ne("SubItem 1: " +
listView1.Selec tedItems[0].SubItems[1].Text);

}
