Highlight selected items in listbox

[empyrean]

I have two list boxes in two different forms.. I load the data in to second list box using first list box...both have exactly same values.. but in first list box user selects multiple selections and i wanted to show them in second listbox as selected.. i have the following code but its only highlighting last item from selected items..please suggest me the modifications..

this.lstView2.ItemsSource = lstView1.ItemsSource;
//the above statement brings the values from lstView1 into lstView2

               foreach (DataRowView currentItem in lstView2.Items)
                {
                    foreach (DataRowView item in lstView1.SelectedItems)
                    {
                        if (currentItem == item)
                        {
                            lstView2.SelectedItem = currentItem;
                        }
                    }
                }

You need to add items to the SelectedItems collection rather than chanign the single SelectedItem value:

foreach (object item in listBox1.SelectedItems)
    {
        listBox2.SelectedItems.Add(item);
    }

hmm..if its a listview there are a couple of extra steps.
Ensure you have the same items in each list and in the same order and use the Index of each selected item:

foreach (ListViewItem item in listView1.SelectedItems)
    {
        listView2.Items[item.Index].Selected = true;
    }

I'd suggest you set the HideSelection property to false to ensure the selected items are still highlighted when the listview has lost focus
