getting data from selected listview item

[Beus]

I am making a small adressbook like program.

I made a listview which is populated by my user data base.

I want the users to be able to select their name on the list and then press the log on button, where after a new form will appeer with their info.

now my problem is not how to open the new form nor to make variables.

the problem is how do I make the program now what person have been selected on the list?

In other words, how do I extract the data from the selected post on the viewlist, with the click of a button?

I have searched high and low for an answer to this, so it would be really great if you guys could help me :(

What is your platform? Normally, you would use the onclick event and check the selected value.

hi
I think it is not a big task

1. u select the subitem from the listview
2. then take the Text or value what is there in the subitem
3.Dependin on that u can do what u want

to select the perticular row ,column u can used bellow mention code if u want
but there are other ways also.

private void GetColumnRow(Po int hitPoint, out int row, out int column)
{
row = -1;
column = -1;

try
{
ListViewItem Item = lvwGroupInfo.Ge tItemAt(hitPoin t.X,hitPoint.Y) ;
if (!(Item == null))
{
int I = 0;
Rectangle R = Item.GetBounds( ItemBoundsPorti on.Icon);
while ((I < lvwGroupInfo.Co lumns.Count))
{
if (R.Contains(hit Point.X,hitPoin t.Y))
{
row = Item.Index;
//row =(int)Item.Tag;
column = I;
break;
}

R.X = (R.X + lvwGroupInfo.Co lumns[i].Width);
if (I+1 < lvwGroupInfo.Co lumns.Count)
{
R.Width = lvwGroupInfo.Co lumns[(I + 1)].Width;
}
I = (I + 1);
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{

}
}


is this the answer for u?
