How to reference a specific column in a listview. 1

[steve728]

Basically I need the right syntax so that I can display the value in the listview's 2nd column:

MessageBox.Show("You selected FieldCode: " & Me.lvMOCApps.Column2)

VS.NET 2003

YourListView.Items(YourItemIndex).SubItems(1).Text

Thanks to you, RiverGuy, I'm able to display the appropriate column but the row always defaults to the bottom one. I want to display the column of the ROW I click on. Will you please help me with this also?

Thanks in advance

In the MouseClick event of your ListView, try

YourListView.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y)

This will return the ListViewItem which you clicked on. You might need to alter it to get it to work if you click somewhere else on the row, and not directly on the item.

YourListView.Items(YourListView.ListIndex).SubItems(1).Text

I'm new at this. Please help me with the arguments:

MessageBox.Show("You selected row " & Me.lvMOCApps.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y))

Thanks

The GetItemAt Function returns an Object of Type ListViewItem. The .Show Method of MessageBox accepts a String to display. Therefore, you need to pass a String to it. ListViewItems have various properties of a String Type. You need to use one of those properties to display. For example, to display the text in the second column, change your code to MessageBox.Show("You selected row " & Me.lvMOCApps.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y).SubItems(1).Text)

Thanks Buddy! You really came through! I'm having a blast working with VB.NET after YEARS of work with MS Access/ VBA.
You got two stars.

On the same subject, Can you help me with the following objective?

For Each itm As ListViewItem In Me.lvDocList.SelectedItems
' I want to use the value inside of the 3rd column
' in this listview.
Something = itm.Text (instead of col 1 I want col 3)
Next

Thanks in advance,

Should be itm.SubItems(2).Text

 

[steve728]

It doesn't work. Look at the following:

For Each itm As ListViewItem In lvIMGDocsRvcd.SelectedItems
With Me.SqlDeleteDocRcvdAdapter2.DeleteCommand
.Parameters("@ABR_ID").Value = Me.txtABR_ID.Text Works
.Parameters("@DateRcvd").Value = DateValue(itm.Text) Works
.Parameters("@IMGDOC_Code").Value = itm.SubItems(2).Text
The 3rd line doesn't work. Please help.

Tanks,

Steve

After stabbing at the keyboard a few hundred times I got the answer:
.Parameters("@IMGDOC_Code").Value = itm.SubItems(2).Text()

Thanks anyway! You always come through.
