Problem

I'm trying to Drag from listView1 and drop on listLocal which both of them are ListView It's a file transfer application between client and server, the application shows small local file explorer listLocal and remote file explorer listView1. so when I drop the items from listView1 to listLocal and the pointer points on an item[Folder] it should be highlighted `item.Selected = true`. but it doesn't work, I tried to do `listLocal.Focus` and `listLocal.Select` still not working, how could I make it work ? note : when I used `item.BackColor = Color.RoyalBlue;` it worked, but it doesn't highlight the icon. ``` private void listLocal_DragOver(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { if (!e.Data.GetDataPresent(typeof(ListViewItem))) return; Point p = listLocal.PointToClient(MousePosition); ListViewItem targetItem = listLocal.GetItemAt(p.X, p.Y); if (targetItem != null) //if dropping on a target item { targetItem.Selected = true; if (targetItem.SubItems.Count > 1) e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;//if IsFile else e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy; return; } foreach (ListViewItem item in listLocal.Items) item.Selected = false; //if dragging into current address e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy; } ```
