    text
    copied!<p>I have a list box which is not filled with items all the way down, and has some empty area after last item. When I click that empty area the last item is automatically get's selected. And that selection happens before <code>MouseDown</code> event. And I want to prevet it from happening.</p> <p>I can keep current selected index (only one item can be selected) in a variable in <code>SelectedIndexChanged</code>, and reset it in <code>MouseDown</code>, but between <code>MouseDown</code> and <code>MouseUp</code> last item is selected - and it doesn't look good.</p> <p>How can I prevent last item from being selected when empty area is clicked?</p> <hr> <p><em>P.S. This is owner-drawn ListBox, but I'm not sure it has anything to do with this issue.</em></p> <pre><code>private void listBox_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e) { if ((e.State &amp; DrawItemState.Selected) == DrawItemState.Selected) { e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.LightSteelBlue, e.Bounds); } else { e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, e.Bounds); } if (_commands.Count &gt; 0) { KeyValuePair&lt;string, string&gt; cmd = (KeyValuePair&lt;string, string&gt;)_commands[e.Index]; // FIRST ROW e.Graphics.DrawString(cmd.Key, _cmdNameFont, Brushes.Black, e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y + _cellPadding); // SECOND ROW e.Graphics.DrawString(cmd.Value, _cmdCommandFont, Brushes.Black, e.Bounds.X + 5, e.Bounds.Y + _cmdNameFont.Height + _cellPadding); } e.DrawFocusRectangle(); } private void listBox_MeasureItem(object sender, MeasureItemEventArgs e) { e.ItemHeight = _cmdNameFont.Height + _cmdCommandFont.Height + _cellPadding * 2 ; } </code></pre>
