I have a form with a listview control and a textbox. When I change focus
from the listview to the textbox, the highlighted item on the listview loses
the highlight. That is not the behavior I need.
I am using VB2008 express. I see that the behavior of a similar program in
VB6 is the same.
When the controls are a listbox and a textbox, the highlighted item remains
highlighted when changing focus to the textbox. So I might guess that this
can be done with a listview.
Am I missing something or just out of luck?

Set the HideSelection property of the ListView to false to stop that
behaviour.
Hope this helps

Thanks. I really appreciate the reply. Based on the property name, I did
some research and found a sample code at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...on(VS.71).aspx
Unfortunately using the HideSelection property doesn't seem to work either
in my application or in the sample code.
All the words describing hideselection are right but false or true, the
result is the same. I tried both VB2008 Express and VB2005 Express.
Anyone able to make this work?

Reading further I find:
When this property is set to false, selected items in the ListView control
remain highlighted in a different color than the current selection color
specified by the operating system when the ListView control loses focus.
On my screen the "different color" is the same as unhighlighted. In the
display appearance settings I find "selected Items" but nothing suggesting a
different selected item color.
Any ideas?

Are you using Vista and Aero? If so the difference is most likely hard to
see.

There is a difference. The highlight is very light and is even invisible
unless I look at my LCD screen from an angle (not directly). So your advice
was right on. Only the result is not as good as might be expected. Thanks

I have a custom listView that works fine. There are items that are
colored red to notify the user that there is a problem. However, if
you select one of the red items, then select space below any of the
other items, the red item turns back to default black. The only code
getting called on this is a listView_Click event. If you select any
other item, no matter what color, from the listView, the original one
that was selected stays red. ...

How do I add the ability to combine listview with treeview? I want to have a
list view but with some items in some columns to have the ability to act as
a tree instead of just a single item. (like, say, how outlook express does
it with its message headers)
Is it possible with ListView? I haven't been able to find anything that
mentions how to do it.
Thanks,
