Hello everyone. I am trying to set the selection for a single-selection listview. I'm using this in combination with the LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS style. Witch message or macro should I use. To get the selection I use the ListView_GetSelectionMark macro. But the ListView_SetSelectionMark doesn't change the selection. Any advice is apreciated. Thank you.

Are you using MFC or the WindowsAPI?

If you're using MFC, the member function SetSel() of CListView takes care of that.

I'm using Win32 API. I looked up SetSel() in MSDN and CListView doesn't have it as a member.

You need to use ListView_SetItemState with the LVIS_SELECTED flag.

The ListView_SetSelectionMark is used for the anchor of a multiple selection and does not affect the selection state of that item.
