Winforms ListView - Stop automatically checking when double clicking

Question

How do I make a listview not automatically check an item when I double click it?

I can try hooking into the MouseDoubleClick event, and set the Checked property to false

Answer 1

I use a much simpler method of just resetting the checkbox's value to the original state by changing it to the opposite of what it currently is:

    Private Sub lst_Images_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lst_Images.DoubleClick
        Dim fIndex As Integer = Me.lst_Images.SelectedIndices(0)
        ' Undo the changing of the checkbox's state by the double click event. 
        lst_Images.Items(fIndex).Checked = Not lst_Images.Items(fIndex).Checked

        ' Call the viewer form
        Dim fViewer As New Image_Edit(fIndex)
        fViewer.ShowDialog()
        fViewer.Dispose()
End Sub
