Question

Is there a way to have two ListViews on the same form and highlight an item on each? It seems that when you select and item in one ListView the other is deselected.

Answer 1

ListView has a property HideSelection, which tells whether the selection remains highlighted when the control loses focus.

public bool HideSelection { get;  set; }

Set it to false either in the designer or through code:

listView1.HideSelection = false;
listView2.HideSelection = false;
