When I highlight one, then highlight another, it will remove the highlighting from the previous one but won't highlight the current one properly... need to try the suggestion below and see what happens...

If you inserted your code in the SelectionChanged() hook method of the BListView class, you need to check whether there is any selection at all. SelectionChanged() is called, as the name implies, whenever the selection changes, so also when everything is deselected, hence your cycle. You can check for the existance of a selected item by using CurrentSelection(0). If it returns -1, then no item is selected. This will break your cycle:

void YourListView::SelectionChanged() { if (CurrentSelection(0) >= 0) otherListView->DeselectAll(); }

that worked wonderfully. i never would have thought of the deselect triggering the selectionchanged. will run through some testing and then mark as verified.

tested thoroughly and it works as expected.
