How to get the selected row items in ListView

Question

This is my ListView, Column 1 for ID and Column 2 for Notes

enter image description here

I have a Multi-Line textbox and a Button Like this

enter image description here

I want to load the selected note on the textbox when the button is clicked. How can I do this ?

Do you want the load the contents of the ListView item into the textbox, or the contents of the textbox into the ListView item? — Cody Gray

You can try something similar to this (you'll have to tweak it for your setup)

If listView.SelectedItems.Count > 0 Then textBox.Text = listView.SelectedItems(0).SubItems(1).Text End If

if you don't like the idea of using column index and if you have your columns setup right then you should be able to do .SubItems("ID").Text

the following may work

For Each item As ListViewItem In ListView1.SelectedItems() TextBox1.AppendText(item.Text & ":" & item.SubItems(1).Text & Environment.NewLine) Next
