Question

I have a Winforms App in C# with a ListView control. This ListView shows a list of TO-DO items and I am using the ‘ItemSelectionChanged’ event to handle updates.

The problem is that the ‘ItemSelectionChanged’ event fires twice each time I try to make an update.

The ItemSelectionChanged event refreshs the form to represent the updates (ie remove item from list).

Is there a way to disable the event from firing after the refresh?

UPDATE1:

private void listView1_ItemSelectionChanged(object sender, ListViewItemSelectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {   
        if (e.IsSelected)
        {                
            listView1.Items[e.ItemIndex].Remove();

            listView1.SelectedIndices.Clear();
            listView1.Focus();

            listView1.Update();
        }
        else
        {

        }

    }

Yes, it will fire twice. Once because the previously selected item became unselected, again for the newly selected item. You just have to make sure you see the selection event:

    private void listView1_ItemSelectionChanged(object sender, ListViewItemSelectionChangedEventArgs e) {
        if (e.IsSelected) {
            // Update form
            //...
        }
    }
