Situation :
FormX is mdi child form containing 2 ListViews
ListView1 contains a list of table names and 4 sub items with data about
each table.
ListView2 contains a list of the columns on each table and 11 sub items with
data about each column.
When a Row in ListView1 is selected the Data in ListVies2 is loaded to show
the correct data. Initially the first row in ListView1 is selected in FormX
load
..
However when using ListView2.Items.Clear() before loading a new set of data
or blank data awaiting entries the previous data is not cleared and the new
data is not loaded. I know the change is taking place because the row back
colour changes are taking place correctly.(No data means matching row
colours, data present means alternating row back colours)
Any thoughts anyone????

Bob, I found your code very difficult to setup and test, but I think I got the gist of it.
Looks like you just want to change ListViewColumns when you select something different in ListViewTables. With the added twist that you want ListViewTables first item preselected so that that ListViewColumns starts with some data showing.
Here is a VERY stripped down version. Create a new form and paste this in there and see if it gives you any ideas.
HTH,
Greg

Greg, I've copied and pasted your code and it does not work either. Is it possible I've got a computer problem or missed an update?
If you put the columns ListView to the right of the tables ListView and stretch them both down so that you can see to about table 30 and click on the tables mostly nothing happens. At random tables numbered above No 9 seem to change the columns ListView, mostly nothing happens and the highlighted table ceases to be highlighted.

Greg, I do not understand exactly why but after trying to incorporate your ideas with mine the following code seems to work.
It does include a small array sample. I hope that this code will be more understandable. Appologies for that.

Greg, I've copied and pasted your code and it does not work either. Is it possible I've got a computer problem or missed an update?
If you put the columns ListView to the right of the tables ListView and stretch them both down so that you can see to about table 30 and click on the tables mostly nothing happens. At random tables numbered above No 9 seem to change the columns ListView, mostly nothing happens and the highlighted table ceases to be highlighted.

Why would no items be selected?
ShowColumnsInListView is called in your SelectedIndexChanged event. That only gets called after something gets selected (or unselected).
Also we preselect an item before the first manual call to ShowColumnsInListView:
ListViewTables.Items(0).Selected = True
ListViewTables.Select()
ShowColumnsInListView()
In fact the statement:
If ListViewTables.SelectedIndices.Count = 0 Then Return
directly before:
Dim tblPosn As Integer = ListViewTables.SelectedItems(0).Index
is our safetly net to prevent an exception if we somehow unselected an item (you would have to change MultiSelect=True to have this happen).

Strange is a good term. Like you I directly pasted it into a new form. Yes, I'm using VS Enterprise Architect 2003.
Some weeks ago I posted another question to which I have never received any answers whatever. It regarded mouse events and form.Show form Hide. Is it possible that I have some bug in my VS that stopped something happening on my machine and is the reason nobody replied to my queery, they could not reproduce the problem?
Very Simply in an mdi project I had buttons with changing Images that changed on mouse enter and mouse leave events like Web Buttons. However when the button was used to hide a form the button used to create the hide code and random other buttons locked in the hover image when the form was re-shown. I tried event handling etc but never solved the problm so ended up re-designing the whole project, some 30 forms, to appear as usual blocky windows buttons.
Any thoughts, Bob ?

I'm confused !
Surely no items would be selected because of the (0).
As I read the line "Dim tblPosn As Integer = ListViewTables.SelectedItems(0).Index"
We set the variable tblPosn to the ListViewTables's SelectedItems(0) ie. there are either zero items selected Or we are looking at the item at index position zero, i.e the first item ?
I understand everything else you mentioned and concurr, normally in for example a listbox I would use something like :-
Private Sub ListBoxTables_SelectedIndexChanged(. . . . . etc . . . . .)
If Loading = True Then Exit Sub
tblPosn = ListBoxTables.SelectedIndex
ShowColumnsInListBox()
End Sub
It's specifically the (0).Index I'm not understanding.

"ListView.SelectedListViewItemCollection"
Represents the collection of selected items in a list view control.
It is a collection of the selected items ONLY. 0 being the index of the first selected item (and only possible item if MultiSelect=false). This all makes more sense if MultiSelect=true. When only one item can be selected it does seems rather strange syntax.
If no items are selected the collection is empty. Hence why I check first before trying to access the first item (0-based).
If ListViewTables.SelectedIndices.Count = 0 Then Return

Strange is a good term. Like you I directly pasted it into a new form. Yes, I'm using VS Enterprise Architect 2003.
Some weeks ago I posted another question to which I have never received any answers whatever. It regarded mouse events and form.Show form Hide. Is it possible that I have some bug in my VS that stopped something happening on my machine and is the reason nobody replied to my queery, they could not reproduce the problem?
Very Simply in an mdi project I had buttons with changing Images that changed on mouse enter and mouse leave events like Web Buttons. However when the button was used to hide a form the button used to create the hide code and random other buttons locked in the hover image when the form was re-shown. I tried event handling etc but never solved the problm so ended up re-designing the whole project, some 30 forms, to appear as usual blocky windows buttons.
Any thoughts, Bob ?

I see the issue. I just got it to lock the image and stop changing the button picture. I'll see what I can figure out a little later on...

Thanks for the explanation now it starts to make sense.
Sorry about html I'v just been replying on your awsome coloured form after
clearing some endless repetitions. It's probably time we stopped meeting
like this anyway. People will start to talk!!!

It was seveal weeks ago and I've since deleted all the input and redesigned the project. A shame it looked a lot cooler that the clunky standard buttons. Give me a clue and I'll go back.

Strange is a good term. Like you I directly pasted it into a new form. Yes, I'm using VS Enterprise Architect 2003.
Some weeks ago I posted another question to which I have never received any answers whatever. It regarded mouse events and form.Show form Hide. Is it possible that I have some bug in my VS that stopped something happening on my machine and is the reason nobody replied to my queery, they could not reproduce the problem?
Very Simply in an mdi project I had buttons with changing Images that changed on mouse enter and mouse leave events like Web Buttons. However when the button was used to hide a form the button used to create the hide code and random other buttons locked in the hover image when the form was re-shown. I tried event handling etc but never solved the problm so ended up re-designing the whole project, some 30 forms, to appear as usual blocky windows buttons.
Any thoughts, Bob ?

Strange. I directly pasted this code into a brand new form, then arranged the listviews side by side and enlarged. I am not seeing anything strange on my machine. I assume you are using VS.NET 2003?

Thank you so much for at least showing me I'm not a complete incompetent and
having the guts to answer my queery. Considering I pay £1,500+ per annum for
VS.Net and it's 'supposed' to give access to over 230 managed newsgroups
with
guaranteed response to technical queeries within 2 business days all I can
say is well done!!!
You've certainly beaten the three other newsgroups to which I posted my
query and received no response whatever, not even Post some code!!!
As for VS 2005 I cannot be bothered to download it, don't trust beta's much
so will wait in anticipation each month for my DVD's.
Thanks Bob

Interesting point. If you look at the vb group and search "Mouse Events" you
will find my query the second on the list, Mouse Events in an mdi project",
complete with my email etc. and no replies. You will note that there are 604
articles (06:40zulu 6th Sept, 2004). I was unaware that the meaning of
guaranteed RESPONSE means reading through 604 - 138,000 articles, foolish of
me.

My point was:
I find it much quicker to help oneself. Waiting 2 days for somebody from MS
to tell you they will look into it is FRUSTRATING.
Second, HAVE YOU REGISTERED your email alais for MSDN managed newsgroups? If
not, how is MS suppose to know you are a paid subscriber, eligible for the 2
day turn around?
Knowing what to search is always the key, I think I searched for "mdi mouse
events". From a quick test, I knew this didn't occur when mdi wasn't
involed. This only returned 53 hits, the first page of results led to the
answer.

I totally agree, the library here has almost all the books on VB.Net
published and I always print out the help pages as used, index and save
them, so they now fill a whole shelf.
Your comment about registering may prove beneficial but let me quote the
very latest msdn Subscriptions, Getting Started Guide, received last week
(My sub gets renewed in August).
"MSDN now includes managed newsgroup support for all Universal, Enterprise,
Professional and Operating System Subscribers. MSDN Subscribers can post
unlimited .NET product and tchnology questions to over 230 Microsoft public
newsgroups and receive a guaranteed response from Microsoft Support
Professionals within two business days. http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/managed
Also, see your local MSDN website for details of other newsgroups in your
locality and language."
Where does it say you have to register anywhere for anything?
My Point is this. COMMUNICATIONS would be helpful, MS is a big business and
yet as you pointed out there are some 600 queries regarding mouse events and
god alone knows how much soul searching went on before they were ever
promulgated.Why cannot MS simply post an addendum in the mouse events part
of the Help Library which is updated regularly. Dont use this event in mdi
forms.!!!
How much msdn time is wasted answering repeat requests for information
concerning problems which are not going to be fixed until the next release,
if then?
Back in 1981 I bought Multiplan for the Apple llE, It was an early Microsoft
product and had the best manual I've ever seen for any product ever. For
twenty plus years I kept that manual and the 5.5" disks as an example of how
to write a manual and teach people to use a product. What happened??

I agree that knowing you need to register is a very well kept secret. (God
knows I wasn't aware of it for a LONG time). Of course, I am just
speculating how this works. Wonder what is to prevent a user from posting
using somebody else's registered alais. Probably nothing.
Although your unanswered post negates this theory, keep this in mind: It
also says you are guaranteed a response from "the newsgroup community or a
Microsoft support professional within 2 business days."
Which means, if I simply respond with a "post some code", I possibly just
killed your chance at getting a response from MS! :^)
There are some other nasty bugs out there that I have been aware of for a
long time that rear their ugly head once in awhile (the one with databinding
a checkedlistbox on a tabpage comes to mind; http://tinyurl.com/492j2), that
I still don't see in any KB articles or fixed in SP 1 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=867460
Communication would be great. Shame their isn't a FAQ for this group. And
if there is, I dunno about it either. :^)
