ListView Controls in WinForms

How to get item by double click the ListView in WinForms:

To get the selected item in a ListView control in WinForms when it is double-clicked, you can handle the MouseDoubleClick event of the ListView control. Here is an example:

private void listView1_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    ListViewItem selected = listView1.SelectedItems[0];
    // do something with selected item
}

In the above example, we handle the MouseDoubleClick event of the ListView control, and get the selected item using the SelectedItems property. We assume that only one item is selected, so we use the index [0] to get the selected item.

How to get item's index by its text in ListView in WinForms:

To get the index of an item in a ListView control in WinForms by its text, you can use the Items.IndexOf method. Here is an example:

int index = listView1.Items.IndexOf(listView1.Items.Cast<ListViewItem>().FirstOrDefault(item => item.Text == "My Text"));

In the above example, we use the IndexOf method to get the index of the item whose text is "My Text". We first cast the Items collection to a List<ListViewItem>>, and then use the FirstOrDefault method to get the first item whose text matches "My Text". We then get the index of the item using the IndexOf method.

How to add shaded rows to ListView in WinForms:

To add shaded rows to a ListView control in WinForms, you can set the OwnerDraw property of the ListView control to true, and then handle the DrawItem event of the ListView control. Here is an example:

private void listView1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ItemIndex % 2 == 0)
    {
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.LightGray, e.Bounds);
    }
    else
    {
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, e.Bounds);
    }
    e.DrawText();
}

In the above example, we handle the DrawItem event of the ListView control, and use the Graphics property of the DrawListViewItemEventArgs parameter to draw the shaded rows. We use the FillRectangle method of the Graphics object to fill the background of the item with either light gray or white, depending on whether the item index is even or odd. We then call the DrawText method of the DrawListViewItemEventArgs parameter to draw the text of the item.

C# ListView Control Example:

// Add to the form
this.Controls.Add(listView);

// Add items with images
listView.Items.Add("Item 1", "ImageKey");

{
    // Handle context menu option click
}

VirtualMode in WinForms ListView:

Enable virtual mode for efficient handling of large data sets.

// Enable virtual mode
listView.VirtualMode = true;
listView.RetrieveVirtualItem += ListView_RetrieveVirtualItem;

// Virtual mode event handler
private void ListView_RetrieveVirtualItem(object sender, RetrieveVirtualItemEventArgs e)
{
    // Retrieve and populate virtual items
}

Custom Drawing in ListView Control WinForms:

Implement custom drawing for items in a ListView control.

// Attach DrawItem event
listView.DrawItem += ListView_DrawItem;

// DrawItem event handler

{
    // Implement custom drawing logic
}
