ListView - How to update item with changing values

[motti100]

Please help.

I have a Listview


Direct Size
=============
c:\test 1000

Size changes constantly.
How do I "update" the item under size (with current value)?

Thanks

Do you mean automatically or programmatically?

Hi

Do you have an answer for both alternatives?

Hi

Do you have an answer for both alternatives?

Well, assuming you use the listview in Details view, the size is in the second column and you want to update all items at once:

Public Sub UpdateSize()
  Dim itemX As ListViewItem
  Dim stringNewSize As String
  For Each itemX In ListView1
	stringNewSize = getNewSize(itemX.Text)
	itemX.SubItems(1) = stringNewSize
  Next
  itemX = Nothing
End Sub

Private Function getNewSize(ByVal FileName As String) As String
  'Put your code here to determine the size of the file
'and don't forget to Return the new size as a string!
End Function

You can then use a Timer to call UpdateSize() on an interval, or call UpdateSize() at the click of a button... whatever you want. I guess this answers for both automatically and programmatically

It is failing on the line

"For each itemX in listview1"

Any idea?

Sorry about that, it should be:

For Each itemX in Listview1.Items
