Listview Clone

[RobbieD]

I am having problems with listviews and have started to pull my hair out. . .I have a listview which is populated by a database table, and via a context menu option i want to get the selected listview rows to populate a second listview. . .From what i have read so far using CLONE seems to be the best way however i need help in doing this or if anyone knows a better way can they please let em know. . .

Thanks in Advance

Hi RobbieD,
Not sure if this helps, but hopefully it's near what you're after. Two listviews (Listview1 and Listview2) and a button (Button1) should get this running on a form. Clicking the button transfers the selected items from Listview1 to Listview2. (Switch the View properties of the listviews to Detail to see it better.) Hope it helps!

   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ListView1.Columns.Add("column id", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
        ListView1.Columns.Add("date", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
        ListView1.Columns.Add("milliseconds", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)

        ListView2.Columns.Add("column id", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
        ListView2.Columns.Add("date", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
        ListView2.Columns.Add("milliseconds", 1200, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
        Dim i As Int16
        For i = 0 To 20
            Dim str(3) As String
            str(0) = "Item " & i
            str(1) = Now.Date.ToString
            str(2) = Now.Date.Millisecond.ToString
            Dim itm As New ListViewItem(str)
            ListView1.Items.Add(itm)
        Next

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim itm As ListViewItem

        For Each itm In ListView1.SelectedItems
            Dim newItm As ListViewItem = itm.Clone
            ListView2.Items.Add(newItm)
        Next
    End Sub
