as you can see above, by default you can't press an item and select the next item. this code should fix the issue.

Code

Private mouseDownLV1 As Boolean
Private Sub LV1_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs) Handles LV1.MouseDown
   mouseDownLV1 = True
End Sub

Private Sub LV1_MouseMove(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs) Handles LV1.MouseMove
   If mouseDownLV1 Then
       Try
           LV1.Items(LV1.HitTest(e.Location).Item.Index).Selected = True
       Catch : End Try
   End If
End Sub

Private Sub LV1_MouseUp(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs) Handles LV1.MouseUp
   mouseDownLV1 = False
End Sub

Edit:

Better version

Code

Private Sub LV1_MouseMove(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs) Handles LV1.MouseMove
            Dim hitInfo = LV1.HitTest(e.Location)
            If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left AndAlso (hitInfo.Item IsNot Nothing OrElse hitInfo.SubItem IsNot Nothing) Then listView1.Items(hitInfo.Item.Index).Selected = True
    End Sub

Or you can click to the first item, hold shift, then click to the last item you want to be selected.
Nice tricks, anyway.

True, but the idea is to press and select without a keyboard.

Listview.MultiSelect It will only work if you select without selecting an item first. As you see in the image above, I'm selecting an item then move to the next item.

I liked your idea man.
Pretty interesting and cool example.

I'm glad you're moving away from try-catch statements and checking for null, this is a big deal. Also thanks for sharing with the community.
