How can I highlight a listviewitem in listview by programming in Winform?

Question

Just like clicking on the listviewitem by hand, and it turns blue.

Set selected property of the listview item to true.

myListView.Items[indexNumber].Selected = true;
myListView.Items[indexNumber].Focused = true;

Go this way:

Listview lv = new ListView();   // Maybe lv.MultiSelect = false  

// Add your items

lv.Items[<index>].Focused = true;
