How to delete selected Items from a ListView by pressing the delete button?

Question

I want to delete one or more selected Items from a ListView. What is the best way to do that? I´m using C# and the dotnet Framework 4.

Answer 1

You can delete all selected items by iterating the ListView.SelectedItems collection and calling ListView.Remove for each item whenever the user pressed the delete key.

private void listView1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (Keys.Delete == e.KeyCode)
    {
        foreach (ListViewItem listViewItem in ((ListView)sender).SelectedItems)
        {
            listViewItem.Remove();
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

I think there is something called listView.Items.Remove(listView.SelectedItem) and you can call it from your delete button's click event. Or run a foreach loop and see if the item is selected, remove it.

foreach(var v in listView.SelectedItems)
{
   listView.Items.Remove(v)
}
