Disable listview auto row selection

[btran007]

Hi Y'all,

This may seem easy but I don't know how to disable ActiveX Listview auto row selection. It automatically selects a row whenever the mouse cursor hovers over a row, usually after the ListView got focus. I have tried to disable Hottracking and HoverSelection (hardcoded also), but nothing works. Can anyone give me help?

Why are you using an ActiveX ListView in a .NET app, or are you? That is definitely not the default behaviour of the standard .NET ListView.

It's my mission to migrate it over from VB6 to .NET. I don't want to change the default configuration. I want to keep it as-is.

The .NET Framework has a perfectly workable and easy to use ListView control. If it can do what you need then to not use it is ludicrous in my opinion. If you're trying to migrate a VB6 app to VB.NET and keep it as much like the original as possible then you're going to end up with ugly code. If you're creating a .NET application then it should be as .NET as possible, otherwise what's the point?
