Passing selection from a listview to a listbox

[ninjaimp]

I have a listview which is populated with values from a data base. What i am trying to do is select an item from the listview via a checkbox and then have that value displayed in a listbox. But everytime all that is displayed in the list box is:

(Collection)


The code i am using to populate the listbox is:

lstResults.Items.Add(ListView1.SelectedItems)


I wondered if anyone had any ideas?

Regards

Try this :

For each Item as Object in ListView1.SelectedItems
     lstResults.Items.Add(item)
Next

I have started to get the result i want, but its not perfect.

the new code im using is:

For Each Item As Object In ListView1.CheckedItems
            lstResults.Items.Add(Item.ToString)


        Next

Now what i get written to the listbox is:

ListViewItem: {12}


With 12 being the value of the first column in the listbox, but all i want to e returned is the 12, and not all the other bits.

I wondered if anyone knew where i was going wrong?

Item isn't Object type, it's type is ListViewItem. Now you suddenly have a lot more options than ToString method.
