I have created one CXTListCtrl in LVS_ICON format so i have 20 Images in Group. I am displaying images in a row 5 images and then next line like this.

Problem is that, when i need to move focused from fifth item to sixth focus is not coming on that and it is not going further images.

What I have tried:

C++

LV_KEYDOWN* pLVKeyDow = (LV_KEYDOWN*)pNMHDR;
if (pLVKeyDow->wVKey == VK_LEFT || pLVKeyDow->wVKey == VK_RIGHT || pLVKeyDow->wVKey == VK_UP || pLVKeyDow->wVKey == VK_DOWN)
{
     switch(pLVKeyDow->wVKey)
     {
        case VK_RIGHT:
                  if (SelectedItem < Total - 1)
			NewItem = SelectedItem + 1;
		if(NewItem % 5 == 0)
		{
		   m_listCtrl->SetFocus();
	           m_listCtrl->SetItemState(NewItem,LVIS_FOCUSED|LVIS_SELECTED,LVIS_SELECTED);
	}
	break;
     }
}

If the curent item is the last in the row, then you need to increment the row number and set the column index to zero.

There is no such thing as "focusing and item". Don't confuse focusing (which is always keyboard focus) and selection.

If you design the the list control with a windows resource template, make sure that you set "Always Show Selection" to True in the list control properties. That way you will always see the selection in focused or unfocused state. If you want to set multiple selections, set "Single Selection" to False in the list control properties. If you use a listview you have to add LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS and remove the LVS_SINGLESEL style.

I hope this helps.
