Get the index of Item selected in ListView

Question

I've been searching for about an hour already and couldn't find a best solution. I am migrating from VB.NET to C# Forms and to C# WPF. Never mind that... so I use this code for C# forms and it works, but not in C# WPF

 if (ListView1.SelectedItems.Count > 0)
            {
                for (lcount = 0; lcount <= ListView1.Items.Count - 1; lcount++)
                {
                    if (ListView1.Items[lcount].Selected == true)
                    {
                        var2 = lcount;
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }

this is the way I want to get the index of the item clicked in listbox. I have the error in .SELECTED

please help.

Answer 1

For Visual Studio 2015, SelectedIndex does not seem to be available. Instead, you can use SelectedIndices[x] where x=0 will give you the first selected item:

listView.SelectedIndices[0]

You can also set the MultipleSelect property to false to only allow one item to be selected at a time.

Answer 2

You can get SelectedIndex from listView. No need to traverse over all items because as per your code you seems to be interested in index of any selected item.

var2 = ListView1.SelectedIndex;

OR

simply this will work if interested in only first index:

if (lst.SelectedItems.Count > 0)
{
    var2 = lst.Items.IndexOf(lst.SelectedItems[0]);
}
