How to completely (incl. dotted box) unselect an item of a ListView

[Stefan Mueller]

I've a ListView in ReportMode with MultiSelect = False.

If the user enters a number I select the appropriate item in the ListView.

If the used enters a number which is not in the ListView I'd like to
unselect the former selected item. Today I do this with
Sample_ListView.SelectedItem.Selected = False

This works but there is still a dotted box around the former selected item.

Is there a way also to hide the dotted box?
Stefan

PS: The ListView should remain the focus

Many thanks.
Set Sample_ListView.SelectedItem = Nothing
solved my problem.
