Question

So I added a list view, and I am displaying 3 columns of strings in each. I also have the full row select on. I want to be able to double click on one of the rows, and have it return the string in the 3rd column. I’ve tried to look everywhere for a solution to this, but so far nothing comes up.

My code so far is:

private void listView_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show(songList.SelectedItems[2].ToString());
}

Yet it returns an error saying “InvalidArgument=Value of ‘2’ is not valid for ‘index’.
Parameter name: index”

Answer 1

You could try:

if (songList.SelectedItems.Count > 0) 
{
    ListViewItem item = songList.SelectedItems[0];
    string s_you_want = item.SubItems[1].Text;
}

Taken a ListViewItem, you can take columns values using SubItems[] property.
