Overview :  My code highlights numbers based on a search button and i have a pager so i can acces all the pages in my list view.

Problem : I need the highlighted number to be saved and run the code over top of the saved highlted numbers and im not sure how to go about it. Any feedback would be great 

Thanks, 

Joseph

Hi,

Just save your states into an Array or a List, and each data-binding, plz find them out and assign to ListView.
