ListView CustomDraw highlighted row that stays when no selection is made

[DavidStark]

Hey guys,

After much searching and reading I Siao's example script from the below link is the closest to what I need to do.

I have a ListView that is populated with the names of different configurations.  When a Listview item is selected, a form is populated with that items data.  Right now I have a column that shows which item's data is shown in the form, but it would be much cleaner to just have the current item highlighted.

My problem is this - The highlighting in Siao's example works great, but inside the Listview when you select in the "empty" space to essentially deselect everything the highlighting disappears.

How can I keep the last selected item highlighted when clicking in this empty space?

Also - I do not understand enough about Windows notifications to understand if we could utilize SendMessage to initiate a custom draw....  It seems to me that you could specify an item and then invoke the DLL function to redraw the item that you specified with the colors that you specified.... That's the idea I get when I read the MSDN documentation on it: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff919573(v=vs.85).aspx

Problem: Replace

If _GUICtrlListView_GetItemSelected($hWndFrom, $iItem) Then

with

If _GUICtrlListView_GetItemSelected($hWndFrom, $iItem) Or _GUICtrlListView_GetItemFocused($hWndFrom, $iItem) Then

 

Also: Look at _GUICtrlListView_RedrawItems

[DavidStark]

 

If _GUICtrlListView_GetItemSelected($hWndFrom, $iItem) Or _GUICtrlListView_GetItemFocused($hWndFrom, $iItem) Then

You sir, are amazing.  I've been messing with this for a while trying all sorts of junk.... For some reason GetItemFocused never occurred to be the answer!
