How might I remove focus from all items in a ListView control?

Question

In a ListView control, the focus is on some Item within that control - that is, the control maintains its own internal notion of what is in focus, which can be retrieved using the FocusedItem property.

I would like no items to be focused. In other words, I want the FocusedItem property to set to null. Any idea how I might accomplish this?

Answer 1

I think, it is

listView1.FocusedItem.Focused=false;

Make sure that listView1.FocusedItem is not null.

Answer 2

To expand on Vanuan's answer:

if (listView1.FocusedItem != null)
{
    listView1.FocusedItem.Focused = false;
}

Something tells me that you also want to un-select the item. So, you probably want to do this as well:

if (listView1.SelectedItems.Count != 0)
{
    listView1.SelectedItems[0].Selected = false;
}
