Question

I’ve got two ListBox’es that are databound to the same BindingList.

The issue is that when changing the selected item from the GUI it’s changing the position in the BindingList and then the BindingList signals the other ListBox to change its selected item.

So I’ve got the two ListBoxes Selected Item also synchronized which is not good for me.

I’d like to maintain the list of items in sync. without the cursor position.

How do I disable that cursor so it’s not maintained?

sample code (just add two ListBoxes to the Form at design time and register the SelectedIndexChanged events and register the button click event with a button):

public partial class Form1 : Form {     BindingList<string> list = new BindingList<string>();      public Form1()     {         InitializeComponent();     }      private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)     {         list.Add('bla1');         list.Add('bla2');         list.Add('bla3');          this.listBox1.DataSource = list;         this.listBox2.DataSource = list;     }      private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)     {         if (listBox1.SelectedIndex != -1)             System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine('ListBox1: ' + listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString());     }      private void listBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)     {         if (listBox2.SelectedIndex != -1)             System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine('ListBox2: ' + listBox2.SelectedItem.ToString());     }      // Register this event to a button     private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)     {         list.Add('Test');     } }

Add this line to Form_Load:

this.listBox1.BindingContext = new BindingContext();
