Listview, reselect old selection C#

[youngie]

I've got a listview on a form in report style. It's populated with 40
item. I want to prevent the used clicking on some items, and if the
user clicks on one of these items I want the selection to revert back
to the old selection, hideselection property if false, listview is
single select.

In the OnSelectedChang e() handler I test to see if the newly selected
item is a selectable one, if it's not, I try to change the selection
like so.

private void OnSelectedItemC hanged(object sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
if( listView1.Selec tedItems.Count != 0 )
{
int idx = listView1.Selec tedItems[0].Index;
bool ret = execScript.isEx ecutable(idx);
if(ret == false)
{
listView1.Items[execScript.getC urrentExecNum()].Selected = true;
listView1.Selec t();
listView1.Ensur eVisible(execSc ript.getCurrent ExecNum());
listView1.Focus ();
}
}

This doesn't work.
Neither does posting a user message to this function by overriding the
WndProc and calling Win32

[DllImport("user 32.Dll")]
public static extern Int32 PostMessage(Int Ptr Handle, Int32
ConnectionType, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);

ResetSelection( )
{
listView1.Items[execScript.getC urrentExecNum()].Selected = true;
listView1.Selec t();
listView1.Ensur eVisible(execSc ript.getCurrent ExecNum());
listView1.Focus ();
}

Neither does using a delegate like this

listView1.Begin Invoke(new
OnSelectedItemC hangedDelegate( ResetSelection) ,null);

Neither does adding a filter on to the listview control and trapping
the LVN_ITEMCHANGIN G or LVN_ITEMCHANGED message in the WM_NOTIFY.

Interesting to note though if I add a button to the form and call my
ResetSelection( ) function it works fine.

Three days I've spent on this. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Try this:

ListViewItem selectedItem = null;

private void listView1_Mouse Up(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

ListViewItem item = listView1.GetIt emAt(e.X,e.Y);

if (item != null && item.Checked)

{

item.Selected = false;

if (selectedItem != null)

selectedItem.Se lected = true;

}

}

private void listView1_Mouse Down(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

if (listView1.Sele ctedItems.Count == 1)

selectedItem = listView1.Selec tedItems[0];

else

selectedItem = null;

}
