Question

Is it possible that in a ListView whenever an Item has been selected (e.g mouse 1 left click or Key down or key up, left right) that item gets activated (Like when you hit enter or double click!). What event or properties of ListView will do this, if any?

UPDATE

I found out it will work if ListView.Activation is set to OneClick but thi is only for the mouse, I want the same with keyboard arrows too.

Answer 1

You can do that by listening the the ItemSelectionChanged event and simply calling the code that runs whenever an item is double-clicked.

Alternatively you can call ItemActivate event that fires when an item is double-clicked using this bit of code, although I’d recommend the first method:

private void ListView1_ItemSelectionChanged(Object sender, ListViewItemSelectionChangedEventArgs e) 
{
    ListView1_ItemActivate(sender, e);
}
