You will want to match things up.

Declare a class wide variable to reference the clicked item.

Example:

Private lviCurrent As New ListViewItem

Next you will want to set the item to the selected item (in the listview's click event)

If IsNothing(ListView1.SelectedItems) = false Then
    For each lvi As ListViewItem in ListView1.SelectedItems
        lviCurrent = lvi
    Next
End If

Now, to pull the values into the text box, do the following:

With lviCurrent
    txtName.Text = .Text 'This will be the first column
    txtAge.Text = .SubItems(0).Text 'This will be the second column
    txtPosition.Text = .SubItems(1).Text 'This will be the third column
End With

In the (form I am asuming) class that the listview belongs in.

Example:

Public Class Form1
    Private lviCurrent As New ListViewItem

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    End Sub
End Class
