How to select an Item in a Listview

[code_gopher]

I have a listview in details mode, and I want to be able to double click on it and a varaiable return with the information that I click on. Is this possible? Thanks in advance Code_Gopher

Would something like this work? (Assuming a control on the form called ListView1)

Private Sub ListView1\_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) \_
              Handles ListView1.DoubleClick

    '-- get the item selected following the double-click
    Dim sel As ListViewItem
    sel = ListView1.SelectedItems(0)
    
    '-- display the selected item text
    If Not (sel Is Nothing) Then
        MessageBox.Show(sel.Text)
    End If
End Sub
