Jonathan, The particular app that this is for will use the ListView to display files. I was hoping to allow a single click to select a file, further single clicks to select multiple files and a double click to perform an action on the files that had been selected. This would mean over riding the default action of a single click de-selecting the items that had previously been selected and then selecting the item the mouse pointer is on. As leaving the mouse on an item has the same effect as clicking (and I don't seem to be able to over ride this) I can't do it that way.
Looking back at that paragraph it looks even more confusing now! Thanks again for your experience with this. Kev.

Do you perform any actions on the item when an ItemClick (single) is performed or is the action on the item carried out with a DblClick event? I have written a program that works like Windows "Find Files or Folders" but finds users in a database. I don't even capture the ItemClick event because no action is carried out until the user performs a DblClick. I also capture a RightClick event and bring up a popup menu to allow the user to select what action should be taken. Is this a feasible solution for what you are doing?
