How to select an item in a ListView programmatically?

Question

I\'m trying to select the first item in a ListView programmatically, but it doesn\'t appear to have been selected. I am using the following code:

if (listVie         


        

Answer 1

if (listView1.Items.Count > 0)
{
    listView1.Items[0].Selected = true;
    listView1.Select();
}

list items do not appear selected unless the control has the focus (or you set the HideSelection property to false)
