Ok, I missed that Larry said ListView. The topic started out ListBox.
The selection behavior between the two are not the same. The Listbox behaves as I described previously, but the ListView "unravels" the Items so that the last item in the list is the last item remaining in the SELECTED state whereas if you de-select the item in the ListBox, the deselection places it at the end of the list ..
