ListView how to change text

[arcade2084]

I need to change the text of my listview item (not a subitem) the
control will not have the current focus. I have tried the following
without any luck:

ListView1.Items[0].Text = "XXXX";

This does not work - please help!

Thanks,
Chris

When I do this it works fine:

listView1.Items.Add("test");
listView1.Items[0].Text = "new test";

The text appears correctly as "new test".

OK Maybe I need to be clearer:

function()
{
listView1.Items.Add("test");
}

function2()
{
listView1.Items[0].Text = "new test";
}

this is what is not working...

I see nothing wrong with that code. Where are you calling these functions?
What is the value of listView1.Items[0].Text inside function2 (set a
breakpoint and examine the value before and after)?
