Hi all,
when ListView loses fucus selected item is no longer highlighted. I have also set ShowSelectAlways to True.
Have I missed something?

I made a modeless form containing a listView and a ListBox in order to compare behaviour.
thx for advance

Hi,

This property doesn't seem to support value changing at runtime. It works fine if you set ShowSelectAlways at design time.

thx fred,
I did so, but the problem is that when the control loses focus, selcteditem in the listBox is still highlighted in 'blue' and the selceted item in the listView in 'grey'. Users often tell me that it is not clear enough and tha it causes confusion...
Does anyone have an idea how to do to get the same let's say 'blue'?

here is the file modified as suggested by fred.

Regards,

I don't think the list view control selection color is customizable.

hi owen,
is it possible to have only the same standard color as in the listBox? (users always ask me that)
thx

As far as I know, Microsoft hard coded the selection color and there is no way to change it.
