label3.Text = listView1.SelectedItems[0].Text;
So how do I return the 2nd column value.

 private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            label3.Text = listView1.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[1].Text;
        }

Answer 3

Does other row have value in column2?

Answer 4

Yes it does. the values load from a text file. How ever the problem I'm having is that for some reason. When I add them to the listview. The values seem to skip a line.

Like the 1st one starts at the top. Then when the 2nd one is added. It skips a line and gets added on row 3 and row2 is left blank. I'm been trying to find out what's doing that.

Answer 6

Could you send the code, hard to help without seeing the code.

I'm sorry theres no way to attach files. How ever. I did fix the 1st problem I just can't get the 2nd problem fixed.

In a row. All I want to do is select it and have the value from the 2nd column show in a lebel1.text comtrol

 private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!Directory.Exists(Settings1.Default.TextPath))
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(Settings1.Default.TextPath);
            }

            if (File.Exists(Settings1.Default.TextPath + "TextBases.ixd"))
            {
                //LoadBases();
            }

            
            DirectoryInfo dirr = new DirectoryInfo(Settings1.Default.TextPath);

                    
                    if (File.Exists(Settings1.Default.TextPath + "TextFiles.ixt"))
                    {
                
                        StreamReader sr;
                        sr = File.OpenText(Settings1.Default.TextPath + "TextFiles.ixt");
                        string C1,C2;
                        C1 = sr.EndOfStream.ToString();

                        
                        listView1.BeginUpdate();
                        while (C1 != null)
                        {
                            ListViewItem Listview1 = new ListViewItem();
    
                            C1 = sr.ReadLine();
                            C2 = sr.ReadLine();
                            Listview1.Text = C1;
                            Listview1.SubItems.Add(C2);
                            listView1.Items.Add(Listview1);
                            tbases++;
                        }
                        
                        listView1.EndUpdate();
                        
                        sr.Close();
                        
                        
                    } //Ends if
                    tbases-=1;
                label3.Text = "Total Bases " + tbases.ToString();
        }

        private void btn_Addbase_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            label1.Show();
            label2.Show();
            textBox1.Show();
            textBox1.Focus();
            textBox2.Show();
        }

The code above is how I have it and it works. Now The problem is when it lists intems on each row.
I want to be able to select each row. and have it put the value from the 2nd column in the label3.text.

private void listView1_ColumnClick(object sender, ColumnClickEventArgs e)
        {
            label3.Text = listView1.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[1].Text;
        }

The code above is the last thing I tryied before checking any replies.

Thanks for the help

Hi,

You should use selectedIndexchanged event with the code below.

Here is the code.

        private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (listView1.SelectedItems.Count > 0)
            {
                label3.Text = listView1.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[1].Text;
            }

        }

Answer 8

also if that does not work change SubItems[1] to SubItems[0] if you are getting an index error.

OMG, its Joe Ginley!

Answer 9

also if that does not work change SubItems[1] to SubItems[0] if you are getting an index error.

---

OMG, its Joe Ginley!

That didn't work. I change the click to selectedindexchange and it works when I click on the 1st row. When I try and click on the 2nd row. Just error's out and says 0 is not valid for index

private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
label3.Text = listView1.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[0].Text;
}

so it doesn't matter if I use 0 or 1. Just doen't work

any ideas
