Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the SelectedIndices, SelectedIndexChanged, and HeaderStyle members and the ListView.SelectedIndexCollection class. To run this example, paste the following code into a form that contains a ListView object named ListView1 and a TextBox named TextBox1. Call the InitializeListView method from the form's constructor or Load event handler. This example requires that the event handler is correctly associated with the SelectedIndexChanged event.

// This method adds two columns to the ListView, setting the Text 
// and TextAlign, and Width properties of each ColumnHeader.  The 
// HeaderStyle property is set to NonClickable since the ColumnClick 
// event is not handled.  Finally the method adds ListViewItems and 
// SubItems to each column.
void InitializeListView()
{
   this->ListView1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::ListView;
   this->ListView1->BackColor = System::Drawing::SystemColors::Control;
   this->ListView1->Dock = System::Windows::Forms::DockStyle::Top;
   this->ListView1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 0, 0 );
   this->ListView1->Name = "ListView1";
   this->ListView1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 292, 130 );
   this->ListView1->TabIndex = 0;
   this->ListView1->View = System::Windows::Forms::View::Details;
   this->ListView1->MultiSelect = true;
   this->ListView1->HideSelection = false;
   this->ListView1->HeaderStyle = ColumnHeaderStyle::Nonclickable;
   ColumnHeader^ columnHeader1 = gcnew ColumnHeader;
   columnHeader1->Text = "Breakfast Item";
   columnHeader1->TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment::Left;
   columnHeader1->Width = 146;
   ColumnHeader^ columnHeader2 = gcnew ColumnHeader;
   columnHeader2->Text = "Price Each";
   columnHeader2->TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment::Center;
   columnHeader2->Width = 142;
   this->ListView1->Columns->Add( columnHeader1 );
   this->ListView1->Columns->Add( columnHeader2 );
   array<String^>^foodList = {"Juice","Coffee","Cereal & Milk","Fruit Plate","Toast & Jelly","Bagel & Cream Cheese"};
   array<String^>^foodPrice = {"1.09","1.09","2.19","2.49","1.49","1.49"};
   for ( int count = 0; count < foodList->Length; count++ )
   {
      ListViewItem^ listItem = gcnew ListViewItem( foodList[ count ] );
      listItem->SubItems->Add( foodPrice[ count ] );
      ListView1->Items->Add( listItem );

   }
   this->Controls->Add( ListView1 );
}

Remarks

A ListView.SelectedIndexCollection stores the indexes to the selected items in a ListView control. The indexes stored in the ListView.SelectedIndexCollection are index positions within the ListView.ListViewItemCollection. The ListView.ListViewItemCollection stores all items displayed in the ListView control.

The following table shows an example of how the ListView.ListViewItemCollection stores the items of the ListView and shows their selection states in an example ListView.

Index	Item	Selection state in the ListView
0	Item1	Unselected
1	Item2	Selected
2	Item3	Unselected
3	Item4	Selected
4	Item5	Selected

Based on the ListView.ListViewItemCollection example in the previous table, the following table demonstrates how the ListView.SelectedIndexCollection would appear.

Index	Index of selected item in the ListViewItemCollection
0	1
1	3
2	4

You can use the properties and methods of this class to perform a variety of tasks with the collection. The Contains method enables you to determine whether an index position from the ListView.ListViewItemCollection is one of the indexes stored in the ListView.SelectedIndexCollection. Once you know that the item is in the collection, you can use the IndexOf method to determine the position of the index in the ListView.SelectedIndexCollection.

Constructors

ListView.SelectedIndexCollection(ListView)

Initializes a new instance of the ListView.SelectedIndexCollection class.

Properties

Count	Gets the number of items in the collection.
IsReadOnly	Gets a value indicating whether the collection is read-only.
Item[Int32]	Gets the index value at the specified index within the collection.

Methods

Add(Int32)	Adds the item at the specified index in the Items array to the collection.
Clear()	Clears the items in the collection.
Contains(Int32)	Determines whether the specified index is located in the collection.
CopyTo(Array, Int32)	Copies the entire collection into an existing array at a specified location within the array.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetEnumerator()	Returns an enumerator that can be used to iterate through the selected index collection.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
IndexOf(Int32)	Returns the index within the ListView.SelectedIndexCollection of the specified index from the ListView.ListViewItemCollection of the ListView control.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
Remove(Int32)	Removes the item at the specified index in the Items collection from the ListView.SelectedIndexCollection.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

ICollection.IsSynchronized	Gets a value indicating whether access to the collection is synchronized (thread safe).
ICollection.SyncRoot	Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the collection of controls.
IList.Add(Object)	Adds an item to the collection.
IList.Clear()	Removes all items from the collection.
IList.Contains(Object)	Determines whether the specified item is located in the collection.
IList.IndexOf(Object)	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Returns the index in the ListView.SelectedIndexCollection. The ListView.SelectedIndexCollection contains the indexes of selected items in the ListView.ListViewItemCollection of the ListView control.
IList.Insert(Int32, Object)	Inserts an item into the collection at a specified index.
IList.IsFixedSize	Gets a value indicating whether the ListView.SelectedIndexCollection has a fixed size.
IList.Item[Int32]	Gets or sets an object in the collection.
