I'm creating a program that downloads file from ftp server.
Putting all downloaded files and downloading files in a ListView.
I want to prioritize the downloading file so I want to add the item in first index.

I try using this sample code but it doesn't work.

VB

'FIRST DOWNLOAD
With lstDownload.Items.Add("Sample", 0)
        .SubItems.Add(2)
        .SubItems.Add(3)
        .SubItems.Add(4)
        .SubItems.Add(5)
        .SubItems.Add(6)
        .SubItems.Add(listDownload.Count - 1)
    End With
'SECOND DOWNLOAD
    With lstDownload.Items.Add("Sample1", 0)
        .SubItems.Add(2)
        .SubItems.Add(3)
        .SubItems.Add(4)
        .SubItems.Add(5)
        .SubItems.Add(6)
        .SubItems.Add(listDownload.Count - 1)
    End With

In that example I want to display the "Sample1" first in the ListView.

Can anyone post a code/suggestion to this.

Thanks in advanced... totally appreciated

Solution 1

you could try something like

VB

Dim listDownloads as New List(of ListViewItem)

Dim lvItem as ListViewItem

lvitem = New ListViewItem()
lvitem.text = "Sample"
lvitem.subitems.add(2)
lvitem.subitems.add(3)
lvitem.subitems.add(4)
lvitem.subitems.add(5)
lvitem.subitems.add(6)
'Set your colour and stuff here
'lvitem.backcolor

listDownloads.add( lvitem ) 'Add the item to an array

'Now add the items to the listview
Dim iCount as integer

For iCount = yourlistview.items.count -1 to 0 step -1
  yourlistview.items.add( lvitem )
Next

C#

private void aboutToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem("Add "+DateTime.Now);
        ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem lvsi = new ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem();
        lvsi.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();
        lvi.SubItems.Add(lvsi);
        _list.Insert(0, lvi);
        listView1.Invalidate();
}

Hello,

A solution is to use Insert instead of Add.

VB

'FIRST DOWNLOAD
With lstDownload.Items.Add("Sample", 0)
    .SubItems.Add(2)
    .SubItems.Add(3)
    .SubItems.Add(4)
    .SubItems.Add(5)
    .SubItems.Add(6)
    .SubItems.Add(listDownload.Count - 1)
End With
'SECOND DOWNLOAD
With lstDownload.Items.Insert(0, "Sample1", 0)
    .SubItems.Add(2)
    .SubItems.Add(3)
    .SubItems.Add(4)
    .SubItems.Add(5)
    .SubItems.Add(6)
    .SubItems.Add(listDownload.Count - 1)
End With
