> The problem I am encountering is this:
private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(etc)
{
// show the subitem of the item that was clicked
}
I need a remedy for this situation.
OK, you're probably about to get flamed because you are either not reading
the docs or do not know how to read the docs. If you want to know how a
control works, check out the documentation. Microsoft has done a great job
and lays it all out for you, if you are willing to look for it and read it.
Here is a link to the .Net Framework documentation. You can drill down and
find documentation on every class and every control in the framework (many
times with sample code!). Here is the link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...sctortopic.asp
Just to be sure to answer your current question (and try to keep you from
getting flamed), I'm going to attach a complete sample form to show you how
to get the subitems from your SelectedIndexChanged event. You should be
able to (1) create a C# WinForms project named ListViewTest01, (2) replace
the code of the Form1 class (be sure to close the designer window that is
showing Form1) and (3) run the application. There is a ListView in the
upper portion of the form listing some simple names and phone numbers. When
you click on one of the items in the ListView, a ListBox at the bottom of
the form is populated with the details (subitems) of the one you selected.
Good luck.
