        With lvItem.SubItems
            .Add(ComboBox1.Text) '// SubItem 1 for Column 2.
            .Add(ComboBox2.Text) '// SubItem 2 for Column 3.
        End With
        ListView1.Items.Add(lvItem) '// add item to ListView.

hi thanks codeorder what if i want to cancel the transaction? it should also be cleared out(the items on listview)

hi i know that it Listview1.items.clear() is one of the best way to do this. do you have any other way to refresh or clear the items?

If you need to clear all the items, then ListView1.Items.Clear() is the appropriate way to do it.
.Although, you can use a For/Next loop to clear items as well.

With ListView1
            For i As Integer = .Items.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1 '// loop backwards thru ListView.
                .Items.Remove(.Items.Item(i)) '// remove item from ListView.
            Next
        End With
        '// looping backwards will not affect the "i" in the loop as looping forwards does when deleting items.

If you need to remove only a single item, then see if this helps.

With ListView1
            If .Items.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
            If Not .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then '// check if item is selected.
                .Items.Remove(.SelectedItems(0))
            Else
                MsgBox("Please select an item to remove from ListView.")
            End If
        End With

.Or this.

ListView1.Items.Remove(ListView1.Items.Item(2)) '// remove 3rd item from ListView.

thanks codeorder! I will try this next time to my application. For now I'm gonna close the thread :)
