You need to call .Select
listView.Items[foundItem.Index].Selected = true;
listView.Select();
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?
Solution
You need to call .Select
listView.Items[foundItem.Index].Selected = true;
listView.Select();
OTHER TIPS
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;
