get Location of radListView1.SelectedItem

[Froggie]

How can I retrieve the Location (ideally the middle of the control) of radListView1.SelectedItem?

Hello Froggie,

Thank you for your question.

The following code snippet demonstrates how you can achieve the desired functionality:

public Point GetSelectedItemLocation(RadListView listView)
{
    if(listView.SelectedItem == null)
        return Point.Empty;

    BaseListViewVisualItem visualItem = listView.ListViewElement.ViewElement.GetElement(listView.SelectedItem);

    if (visualItem == null)
        return Point.Empty;

    return visualItem.ControlBoundingRectangle.Location;
}

Note that this method will only work when the selected item is visible inside the client area of the control. Otherwise, there will not be an actual visual item associated to the selected item due to the virtualization mechanism of RadListView.

I hope you find this useful. In case you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,
