When my form first loads I would like to fire this event without a mouse click. How would I do that.
There is no way to actually trigger the event short of deriving a class from the control and calling the protected OnItemClick method. However, you can call the event handler directly, since the ItemEventArgs class exposes a public constructor. That would cause the same code to get executed as when the control's event is fired.

Thanks for the input. Would it be possible to explain it in a way that a slightly less experienced person would understand.
Thanks
