Set ListView Item to Selected

[VFaul]

I have a ListView control in a form. I want to add a "Select All" button on the form that selects all items in the ListView control. I cannot find a way to do this. The "SelectedIndices" and "SelectedItems" are readonly properties. How do I programatically select an item in the ListView?

Here's how you do it: For Each item As ListViewItem In lv.Items item.Selected = True Next lv.Focus() Note that you need need to set the focus back to the ListView control, because the items won't be highlighted when the control does not have focus (by default, lv.HideSelection = true). Instead of giving focus back to the control, you could set the lv.HideSelection to false, but the highlight will be gray instead of blue (when the control does not have focus).
