Listview Select Item Trouble (making A Browser)

[flash44 0]

Hi all,

I am having trouble with a browserish app I am creating.

Basically, it is a list of dirs/files. When I enter a directory and go back up, I want that directory selected.

I managed to do that with ControlListView. My problem is that when I press an up/down cursor, I only find that the caret was actually on the first item on the list, despite the directory being so nicely highlighted..

Please observe:

Thank you for the reply, I am afraid it isn't quite it, though.

After I go into the directory, and back again I have that directory nicely highlighted. The problem is, when I want to navigate further down and press DOWN, I still get 'a1|a2|a3|file' selected instead of 'd1|d2|d3|d4|file'.

Now, I am not exactly sure what this SetHotItem business is all about.. The documentation's example I run didn't change the selection of the SetHotItem'ed item either.. I could GetHotItem the index, but there was no visible change to the item itself..
