Select item from a Listview

[M K]

Using VS 2005

I have a listview that displays:

number, name, details (in that order)

when the user selects a row (single select) i want to retrieve each column
in a variable.

number is an int
name is a string
details is a string

i have searched the net and could not locate an example.

I am not trying to do this from the listview control but rather from a
button.

any help greatly appreciated.

Use .SelectedItems[0] property and you will get ListViewItem object
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...asp?frame=true
use .Subitems(0) - for number
use .Subitems(1) - for name
use .Subitems(2) - for details
ListViewItem lvItem = list..SelectedItems[0];
int number = (int)lvItem.SubItems[0] ;
string name = (string)lvItem.SubItems[1] ;
string details = (string)lvItem.SubItems[2] ;
I hope this helps

This did work.. i figured it out.. thanks for your help.

ListViewItem lvItem = lvTodo.SelectedItems[0];

int number = Convert.ToInt32(lvItem.SubItems[0].Text);

string name = lvItem.SubItems[1].Text;

string details = lvItem.SubItems[3].Text;
