Make listview select row on mousedown (like explorer)


In an application I am writing I use both double click and mousedown, first
for playing a track, second for doing a drag. Problem is that , unlike
explorer, teh listview does not select the item under the mouse, but does
so after a click..

Is there any way to change that behaviour in VB.NET or is there a work
around?

As it is now the on mousedown the previously selected item is dragged, not
the one under the mouse..

Set HoverSelection to True.
The MouseHover event will tell you when a hover occurs.

True, but I do not wat to select a row when the mouse hovers over it, I
want to select it when I press the mouse button down, as it is selection
takes place after MouseUp

Hi. I use a ListView to display data in tabular form. Each ListView row corresponds to a data record. The ListView Item of the record is the record key or code. Each SubItem in that row represents a field from the record. I implemented a context menu so the user can "Copy" the cell content to the clipboard with this code:

Hi group, Someones gonna answer this in two seconds flat but im tearing my hair out. Create a form, add a listview, add 5 items and programmatically select item at index 3. this.imageList.Items.EnsureVisible(); this.imageList.Items.Selected = true; That works fine. Use the mouse to select index 4 and again, works sweetly.

I'm working on a Windows app that has a ListView containing a bunch of items. When the user clicks on an item, the app displays the item'd details. The user then has the opportunity to edit these details. The user should click the Save button after each change, but of course that doesn't always happen. If the user makes changes and doesn't click Save, the app displays a message box asking if they'd like to save their changes. This box...

How do I make a TextBox behave like the address bar in IE? That is... If focus is not on the tb, select all text if clicking on the tb or tabbing into the tb. Clicking again deselects the text and sets the insertion point to where clicked. I've tried several options inheriting from TextBox but none work quite right. Thanks Much,

I am trying to do two things from a listview. First is on a double click to perform an action on the object which was double clicked. FullRowSelect is set to true for the Listview. Code for the doubleClick event is: Private Sub SongList_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SongList.DoubleClick If SongList.SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub

I asked this question a couple of days ago but am just now looking at it again. I used to use the textbox gotfoucs event to have all the text in the textbox selected when it gotfocus. That doesn't seem to work in .net when the textbox receives focus via a mouse click. Jeffrey and Shane both advised how to get a mouse click to select all the text (thank you both) but using the mousedown or mouseup events doesn't work the way I want it...

I have had no replies to my previous post so perhaps I didn't write it good enough. Please excuse new thread but i wanted to break from the last thread hopefully this thread will be better. Very simple. I would like to create listviewitem's for display in a listview control. The listview items need to contain properties from Internet Explorer windows i've managed to collect into an arraylist.

Hi I would like to add some additional custom features to the listview, like cell editing. The created object will be added to the form as part of the GUI, and it should be able to handle events. I will create a class which conains the listview. Should I inherit this class from any existing class? If yes, which class should I inherit from? Or, should I just inherit my class from listview and add my add my additional features?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
