Highlight Selected ListView Item 1

[hitechboy78737]

When a listview item is selected via code, why does it not become highlighted like it is when a user selects the item with a mouse?

How do you highlight the selected item?

The list view is hiding the selection by default if the list is not in focus, so do one of the following:

        ListView1.Focus()
        ListView1.Items(index).Selected = True

Or:

        ListView1.HideSelection = False 'do it once in the designer
        ListView1.Items(index).Selected = True

The effect is different between the two ways.
