.NET snippets and books: Listview and label display

Listview and label display (Saturday, August 28, 2004)

Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

listview and label display by:Anonymous
Hello, I have a listview that displays a list of choices. When the mouse moves over each item, I would like text (the name of the item that is being hovered over) to show up in a seperate label or textbox. How do I set this? Thanks, Amber

	Hello, Create a MouseMove event on the listview in question, Inside this event place the following code: Dim SelectedItem As ListViewItem _ = lvwFiles.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y) If Not SelectedItem Is Nothing Then MyLabel.Text = SelectedItem.Text End If This snippet of code will retrieve the list view item at the position of the mouse and if a valid item was found set a label's text to the text of the item. Change MyLabel to the name of your label etc. Hope this helps Cheers Simon -- Simon Jefferies Tools Programmer, Headfirst Productions mailto:simonj@headfirst.co.uk -
