ListBox vs. ListView

Is there a way to get a ListView control to fire its
SelectedIndexCh anged event like the ListBox control? When the user
selects multiple items at once, the ListView fires the event as each
item gets selected. The ListBox waits to fire the event until all
selections are complete.

Thanks,
Mike

It does? How do it KNOW that the selections are complete?

How could it not know? If I click on the first of 100 items and then
shift-click the last item, I think the control needs to know it is
selecting all 100 items or else how could it do it?

Well, you didn't specify what type of multi-selection you were using.
There's also the type where you can Ctrl+click items, and do it as many
times as you want.

And you're saying that the first click (on the "anchor" item) doesn't fire
SelectedIndexCh anged? I'm having difficulty believing that.

First, I said this is when they select multiple "at once". Sorry that
wasn't clear enough for you, but the shift-click is the only way I'm
aware of to do that. With ctrl+click, you pick items one at a time,
not all at once.

Second, I never said that the first click doesn't fire the event. I am
only talking about the shift-click situation. Again, that single click
is not selecting multiple items at one time.

Welcome to the ambiguity of the English language. To you, "at once" meant in
a single action. To me, it meant "without doing anything else in the
application in-between, like clicking on a button." Saying "Shift+clic k," as
you did in your first reply, makes it perfectly clear, though, and now we're
on the same page, although ultimately I don't think you're going to get the
answer you want.

Yeah, I looked around quite a bit for this already and came up empty.
Just thought I'd post the question as a last resort in case anybody
had an idea.

I now know how to gather the file type icons and I'm able to use them in a listview. But a listbox does not have a .smallimagelist or .largeimagelist member, so I don't know how to translate that so that I have the icon + the string in a listbox. Is this possible, and if so, can you give me some idea how to go about it. Thanks for any help. Bernie Yaeger
