c++ winapi selection clistctrl

ClistCtrl is set to single selection & single column in report view with no header.

I have tried SetItemState(0,LVIS_SELECTED,LVIF_STATE) and
SetSelectionMark(int index) but these don't work.

you also need to call SetSelectionMark after updating the item states.

SetItemState(prev_item, ~LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED);
SetItemState(new_selected_item, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED);
SetSelectionMark(new_selected_item);
