Question from newbie about reading file name from listview

  Hi Pryngiel,
  
  you can refer to the item with the selecteditems property of the listview. you can get the text value by using listview1.selecteditems(0).text if you are on the first column. hope this helps...

  Thanks for the answer! I have something like this: private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { string Itm; Itm = listView1.SelectedItems(0).Text; } but... it takes error "Error 1 'System.Windows.Forms.ListView' does not contain a definition for 'SelectedItems'" So I have to define listView1.SelectedItems, how to do it I suppose it's something like this "this.listView1.SelectedItems += new " but what's next after "new"

  I've just made it work!
  It goes like this:
  private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
  string Itm;
  for (int i = 0; i < listView1.Items.Count; i++)
  {
  if (listView1.Items.Selected)
  {
  Itm = listView1.Items.Text.ToString();
  MessageBox.Show(Itm);
  }
  }
  
  Thanks, for trying to help!

  Hi Pryngiel,
  
  Oops, that was on VB, my bad... try this on c#:
  
  private void listView1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
  string itm = this.listView1.SelectedItems[0].Text;
  MessageBox.Show(itm);
  }
  
  just to show that you're getting the the value when you double click. you can change the event for your own purpose :)

  SelectedItems is not in Compact Framework

  I used somethink like:

  ListView.SelectedIndexCollection indexes = this.MyList.SelectedIndices;

  foreach (int index in indexes)

  {

  fieldtext1.Text = MyList.Items[index].Text;

  fieldtext2.Text = MyList.Items[index].SubItems[2].Text;

  }

  index on PDA is only 1 number .... there is not multiline choose
