How to get the selected subitem in a item LISTVIEW

[luiggye]

Hi

I have a LISTVIEW where every item have 6 subitems (columns).

lstBrowse.Columns.Add("Col1", 150, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
lstBrowse.Columns.Add("Col2", 150, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
lstBrowse.Columns.Add("Col3", 150, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
lstBrowse.Columns.Add("Col4", 150, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
lstBrowse.Columns.Add("Col5", 150, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
lstBrowse.Columns.Add("Col6", 150, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
 

I know how to get the selected item.

Dim SelectedOptions As ListView.SelectedListViewItemCollection = lstBrowse.SelectedItems
Dim Item As ListViewItem = Me.lstBrowse.SelectedItems(0)
 

But I need to give the opportunity to the end user, to select a subitem.

I want to know how to get the selected subitem because I will fire different procedures for every subitem clicked in a item.

I will appreciate if anybody can show me, how to do that...

Thanks in advance,

Please reply if somebody has found the solution.

When the View property is set to "Details" you can't select a sub item because selecting an item selects the whole row.

I'm not sure about other view types.


You can, however, find the text value of a sub item.

Me.lstView1.SelectedItems(0).SubItems(1).Text

I use this sequence of code:
It returns the row the user clicked in (as integer)
Further processing may be done in calling routine. In this case only a MsgBox is used now.
e.g.:

‘ within calling routine: (e.g. from the box-click-event, where parameters are sender and e)

Dim sel As ListViewItem = approofBox.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y)
MsgBox("row=" & getClickedRow(approofBox, e) & vbCrLf & " represents " & sel.SubItems(getClickedrow(approofBox, e)).Text & vbCrLf & sel.ToString)

... will show the clicked row, clicked item AND item in column(0)


' called routine:

 Function getClickedRow(ByVal box As System.Windows.Forms.ListView, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) As Integer
        Dim eex As Integer = 0
        Dim appb As System.Windows.Forms.ColumnHeader
        getClickedRow = -1
        While (eex < e.X)
            appb = box.Columns(getClickedRow + 1)
            eex = eex + appb.width
            getClickedRow = getClickedRow + 1
        End While
    End Function
