Question

I am trying to get the following VB6 listindex to work within my vb.net code:

setTheR CStr(payReq.ItemData(payReq.ListIndex))

But if i copy and paste that into VB.net it wont accept it.

This is what VB.net did with the converting of the VB6 to .net code:

strContract = payReq.Items.Item(payReq.FocusedItem.Index).Text

However, checking that value it returns the name instead of the index. While the VB6 code returns the value of 2311 (which is what it needs to return)

When i add items to the listview i do this:

Item = payReq.Items.Add(rsPayRequests.Fields("userid").Value)
Item.SubItems.Insert(1, New System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem(Nothing,   VB6.Format(rsPayRequests.Fields("reqdatetime").Value, "mm/dd/yyyy")))

But i noticed it does this as well:

payReq.Items.Add(New VB6.ListBoxItem(Item, rsPayRequests.Fields("requestNum").Value))

But that does not work with my listview in .net since that above is a listbox and not a listview. Is there an equivalent in .net for the listbox to have a custom index?

Any help would be great!

Answer 1

Try strContract = lstPayRequest.FocusedItem.Index
The way you are using it is returning the item at that index

Edit:
To answer your question you can add subitems to a listviewitem or you could use the tag property of the ListViewItem for your custom index.

    Dim lv As New ListViewItem
    lv.Text = "Item1"
    lv.Tag = 1001     
    lv.SubItems.Add("SubItem1")
    lv.SubItems.Add("SubItem2")
    lstPayRequests.Items.Add(lv)
