getting text of selected item in listview

[Trucker]

Hi All, I have been trying to do this simple task for half a night and as simple as it sounds, I can't get it to work.:mad: I have a listview and I am trying to get the text of the selected item when user selects one (this is a single select listview). I've tried the following but none work:

System::Void Form1::lv_files_SelectedIndexChanged(System::Object * sender, System::EventArgs * e){

// Intellisense tells me that there is no '->Text'
// after Item(0) even though when reading through
// the .NET Framework, this sounded logical
String\* sss = lv\_files->SelectedItems->Item(0)->Text;

//Intellisense tells me this does not work either
ListViewItem\* selectedFile = dynamic\_cast(e);
String\* sss = selectedFile->Text;

//...and many other unsuccessful ways which I already forgot

}

So how do I actually get the text of the selected item? Im tired, and passed the pissed off point so any help would be appreciated immensly:wtf: TraileR ParK LifE 4Ever >:{

Try lv_files->SelectedItems[0]->Text -- jlr http://jlamas.blogspot.com/[^]

lv_files->SelectedItems[0]->Text

Hi - I'm having this same issue. When I try the solution above, I get

error C2227: left of '->Text' must point to class/struct/union

(The intellisense also warns me that it won't work.) My code is: String* test = listView_Main->SelectedItems[0]->Text; Any suggestions? Thank you, --Jordan
