hello i am trying to move checked items from listview7 to listview1 on another form so fat this is the best i have been able to do. i have taken this from a vb6 program that i know works and made what changes i could. the 2 problem peices of the code are

1.)If ListView7.CheckedItems.Item(j) = True Then
error
Error 1
Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Item' can be called without a narrowing conversion:
'Public Overridable ReadOnly Default Property Item(key As String) As System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem': Argument matching parameter 'key' narrows from 'Long' to 'String'.
'Public ReadOnly Default Property Item(index As Integer) As System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem': Argument matching parameter 'index' narrows from 'Long' to 'Integer'.

2.) Dim new_item As New frmEmail.ListViewItem(("ListView7.SelectedItems").ToString)
error Error 2
Type 'frmEmail.ListViewItem' is not defined.


the whole code chunk is listed below that i am trying to use
thank you in advance for any and all your help

Here is the basic idea. You read through the collection of checked items using checkedindices. This will give you index values of the checked items. You then need to clone each item before moving it (because you can't have the same item in two listboxes). Then move it and remove it from the first listview.

There is a trick to this though, when you remove an item, it shortens the list each time but doesn't adjust the checkedindices so you setup a counter to offset this fact. Here is the code example...



So play with this a little and make your tweaks to it. Enjoy!

thanks Marty it works great i just took out the Dim myform2 As New Form2 all together and replaced
the from name i wanted to send the information to. and i see that if you do not remove a checked item
that it repeats that item. and again thank you for your help.

I found it very very Helpful. Before i had a problem doing this with selectedindices. Many many thanks to Martyr2. Works great
