hi all ,

whenever i try to get the index of the selected item from the listview , for the first time the index gets selected but second time whenever i select some particular item from listview then error occurs stating "Invalid argument , value of 0 is not valid for index "

I mean to say one time selection is possible but second time i cannot select the item from the listview..

For instance ... I took a listview control on a on the form ... put 3 items hi , hello , world ... now i put a statement
MessageBox.Show("selected index is " +listView1.SelectedIndices[0] ); on the selectedindexchanged event so whenever i select an item messagebox does come but next time whenever i select any other item an error flashes stated .."InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'index'.
Parameter name: index"

I mean to say that i want that i can select any number of times a single item from the listview .

CAN anybody help me with that ....

C#

//Assign few data on OnInit to the List
BOOL CLEDDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
m_ctrlListData.AddString("Red");
m_ctrlListData.AddString("Blue");
m_ctrlListData.AddString("Yellow");
...
...
}
/// Write the below code on click of a button

CLEDDlg::OnButton()
{
int n = m_ctrlListData.GetCurSel();
CString szTemp;
szTemp.Format("%d",n);
AfxMessageBox(szTemp);// to display the index selected
}
