Retrieve Data from ListView to Display in Textbox using VB.Net

Retrieve Data from ListView to Display in Textbox using VB.Net.

In this tutorial, you will learn How to Retrieve Data from ListView to Display in Textbox using VB.Net.

First, create your own project and then follow this sample image:

To modify your ListView, follow these steps:

1. Click the small play button located at the upper right side of your listview, then set the View property to Details and click Edit Columns.
2. On the Edit Columns, add four columns and rename the column header to Name, Gender, Age and Address and adjust its length depending on the size of your listview.

Now on our form load event, we will add line of codes to add values to our list view.

[vbnet]

Dim p As ListViewItem

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
p = New ListViewItem("Kane Hero Cruz")
p.SubItems.Add("Male")
p.SubItems.Add("20")
p.SubItems.Add("Iloilo City")
ListView1.Items.Add(p)
End Sub

[/vbnet]

As you run your system, this will be your output:

Next, double click your listview and add this line of code for us to retrieve the data from the listview and pass it on our text boxes.

[vbnet]

Private Sub ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ListView1.SelectedIndexChanged
If ListView1.SelectedItems.Count > 0 Then
TextBox1.Text = ListView1.SelectedItems(0).SubItems(0).Text
TextBox2.Text = ListView1.SelectedItems(0).SubItems(1).Text
TextBox3.Text = ListView1.SelectedItems(0).SubItems(2).Text
TextBox4.Text = ListView1.SelectedItems(0).SubItems(3).Text
End If
End Sub

[/vbnet]

Then, run again your system and try to click on Kane Hero Cruz’s details. You can see that it passes the values on our text boxes when we click it. Here’s the result:

Congratulations! You have learned how to retrieve data from your listview to your text boxes.
