Marking an item in ListView

Question

I am using a listView on virtual mode, and on SearchForVirtualItem event I would like to mark the found item, the same way that clicking on this item would highlight it (a blue back color).

I have tried: listView.Items[foundItem.Index].Selected = true;

but it does not highlight it the same way (a light gray back color). what should I do?

Answer 1

You need to call .Select

listView.Items[foundItem.Index].Selected = true;
listView.Select();

Answer 2

While you're setting the selection (which gives the blue colour), I believe the grey outline comes from the focus. You can get around this by adding this line below your current one:

listView.Items[foundItem.Index].Focused = true;
