listview problems

i've got a few problems using a listview....
what i want is to select a item from a listview and a a form appears
i've tried this:

If ListViewcons.FocusedItem Is ListViewcons.Items(1) Then
     Dim openem As New Formcreateemp()
            openem.MdiParent = Formcreateemp.ActiveForm
            openem.Show()
   End If

it works...but when i close the forum the focus is in item 1, if i select item 0, the forum associated in item 1 tags along.....
also i've tried this

If ListViewcons.SelectedItems Is ListViewcons.Items(0) Then
            Dim newemp As New Formopenemp()
            newemp.MdiParent = Formopenemp.ActiveForm
            newemp.Show()
        End If
doesn't do a thing
any help would be appreciated

If I understand correctly what you are trying to achieve, all you would need to do is respond to the SelectedIndexChanged event from the listview. Check if the SelectedItem is not Nothing, or if the SelectedIndex not is -1, and open the form if so. You can also check specific indices, but I wouldn't want to be dependent on indices, I'd rather do an alternative check depending on the contents of the object in the ListView.

Does that answer your question or did I completely misunderstood?
