Set multiple selected item in ListView from CodeBeging

Question

Hi,

How can I select multiple items in ListView from Codebegin in C# UWP.

To get selected items I do this:

            foreach (User userSelected in UsersListView.SelectedItems)
            {
                Users.Add(userSelected);
            }

But if I do that for set, in the listview only the last one is selected:

                foreach (User userSelected in Users)
                {
                    UsersListView.SelectedItem = userSelected);
                }

This is the xaml:

<ListView x:Name="UsersListView" ItemsSource="{x:Bind Users}" SelectionMode="Multiple">

How can I select multiple items?

Thanks,
BullT

Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

But if I do that for set, in the listview only the last one is selected:

It's by default, the SelectedItem was used to get or set SelectedItem. it is single item but not collection . if you want to Set multiple selected item in ListView from code behind. You could call UsersListView.SelectedItems.Add method to add the selected item.

foreach (User userSelected in Users)  
{  
    UsersListView.SelectedItems.Add(userSelected);  
}  

Thank you.
