You really need to start doing your own research. If you want to know what properties, methods, events, etc... that a class has, I would suggest doing a google search. Here is the page for the ListView Members:
ListView Members[^]

I suggest looking through that...maybe for a property that starts with Selected.

You can also use checkboxes in front of your listrows for this.
Set the listview property 'CheckBoxes' to 'True'.

Now you can check the state of an item like so:

Dim v As Integer
   For v = 0 To ListView1.Items.Count - 1
      If ListView1.Items(v).Checked = True Then
         'Do whatever you want to do
      End If
   Next v

well that's a roundabout way of getting the selected index for a ListView...especially considering you could just do:

For i = 0 To listView1.SelectedIndices.Count - 1
'do something with each selected index
Next

or

For i = 0 To listView1.CheckedIndices.Count - 1
'Do something with each checked index
Next

What if you had 1500 items in your ListView (which some people are determined to do) and two items selected or checked?

Then, instead of just getting the two selected/checked items, you want him to search through all 1500 items to find the two that are selected/checked?

Your right, ofcourse. But some people find checkboxes more aesthetically pleasing.

Hey, not everyone is a "winner".

selecteditems(i).count should tell you how many items have been selected if you allow multiple selects,

otherwise use selecteditems(0).item for just one item.

I use selecteditems which is an array of the items selected, its a little quirky but i find it normal now, makes handling multiple selects easy

Reason for my vote of 1
again, don't post a new "answer". add a comment to the previous answer.

And, no it doesn't have SelectedIndex. But didn't you notice something very similar? Do you know what the plural of index is?
