HLP: Retrieving ListView String Information

[Mr. B]

I think I'm missing something here... but is there someway to get the String
information from a ListView without the garbage that I get?

For example, I've a ListView with a couple of columns... and if I want to get
the String in a Column and I use something like LItem.SubItems( 2).ToString.
This give me something like "ListViewSubIte m: {60-004}" ---> where '60-004' is
the string I'm looking for. So I have to 'remove the before and after junk as
follows:

Dim TmpStrng, TmpStrng1 As String
Dim LItem As ListViewItem
Dim LItems As ListView.Select edListViewItemC ollection
LItems = lvModDwgs.Selec tedItems
' INFO - LItem.SubItems( 2).ToString = "ListViewSubIte m: {60-004}"
' Remove ListViewSubItem Gargage!

For Each LItem In LItems
' Global Selection Item
gblSelItem = LItem.Text
lblDwgRename.Te xt = gblSelItem

' Layout Name
' Remove the Before and After junk information
TmpStrng = LItem.SubItems( 1).ToString
TmpStrng = Microsoft.Visua lBasic.Right(Tm pStrng, Len(TmpStrng) - 18)
TmpStrng = Microsoft.Visua lBasic.Left(Tmp Strng, Len(TmpStrng) - 1)
txbDwgRename.Te xt = TmpStrng

Next ' LItem
So there be an easier way? True? If so... please what?

Thanks in advance.

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may get
a stray answer to VB.NET questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups
devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups with either the
word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

For your information this is a VB.NET newsgroup (
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb
), but the user has posted the message also in a Database & ADO group too

I really aren't fully understanding what you want to do. Are you just
wanting to select subitem(2)'s text? (SelectectedTex t)

The Text property of the subitem is what you want. The use to the ToString
method is inappropriate in this case.

Well in all the 'years' I've done so (in the three that I do cross post)...
I've NEVER had someone say that it's mostly for VB6 only (of which I use to
code in)... so....

What I want to 'get' is the TEXT only... without the excess junk stiff as:

The info I get: ListViewSubItem : {60-004}
I remove the Left stuff: ListViewSubItem : {
I remove the Right stuff: }
I end up with this: 60-004

But there must be an easier way other than removing the left/right stuff...

No biggy... just thoutht that there would be an easier way.

If you follow the flow of the thread that was not aimed at you, it was aimed
at the one who had a go at you.

If he had put brain into gear before letting the fingers fly then he
probably wouldn't have had a go at you at all.

Bruce,

What I really not see from your sample is what is the starting information
in the column of your listview in that column. (Just one row as example) in
text when the listview is in detailview.
