An item's state determines its appearance and functionality. The state can be zero, or one or more of the following values.
| LVIS_CUT | The item is marked for a cut and paste operation. |
| LVIS_DROPHILITED | The item is highlighted as a drag-and-drop target. |
| LVIS_FOCUSED | The item has the focus, so it is surrounded by a standard focus rectangle. Although more than one item may be selected, only one item can have the focus. |
| LVIS_SELECTED | The item is selected. The appearance of a selected item depends on whether it has the focus and on the system colors used for selection. |
