ListView Row Highlight

[Rick Carter]

I've got a ListView with RowSelect = True.
I'm populating the items at runtime.
If there is only one item, I want that row to be highlighted,
as if I had clicked it with the mouse.

So far I've tried:
ItemIndex := 0;
onClick.Sender;
ItemFocused := Items[0];
as well as the combination of:
Selected := Items[0];
Selected.MakeVisible(False);

Any one of those lines will trigger the "onSelectItem" method,
but none of them will highlight the row for me.

Typo! Actually, what I tried was:
onClick(Sender);

@dnews:

Try:

MyListView.Items[0].Selected := True;

Also, does your ListView have the focus?

Whoah!

I think others in this thread will have solved your problem for you -
assigning to Selected DOES work.

A small note though - I've found it to be bad practice to directly call
events directly. If you can't work out why for yourself, start a new
thread and see what people say. ;-)

Exactly right! Either setting the ListView's HideSelection
property to False, or first calling
Active Control := ListView1;
did the job.

Thanks, this had me stumped for a while!
