How I added items to the server from ListView:

serverName.opGroup.OPCItems.AddItem("itemName", listView.Items.Count);

This runs each time I click the button to add a new item to ListView.

 

Now when I try to update a listView with DataChange event

public void StructOPCServer_DataChange(int TransactionID, int NumItems, ref Array ClientHandles, ref Array ItemValues, ref Array Qualities, ref Array TimeStamps){

foreach(int item in ClientHandles){

     listViewName.Items[item-1].SubItems[1].Text = ItemValues.GetValue(item).ToString();

}

}

ClientHandles get mixed up somehow although I haven't changed the position of items in my listview. 
For exmaple:

ListViewItem[0] should be ClientHandle = 1

ListViewItem[1] should be ClientHandle = 2

ListViewItem[3] should be ClientHandle = 3

 

Instead I get for exmaple:

ListViewItem[0] should be ClientHandle = 3

ListViewItem[1] should be ClientHandle = 1

ListViewItem[3] should be ClientHandle = 2

 and each time I run the app and do the same process (adding same items in same order) each time ClientHandle mixes up a different way. 

So I was hoping if there is solution to this or can I somehow access items name withing DataChange event (that I have added in AddItem() method). So what way I could compare if a new value ive got is from the item with same name like the one I got in ListView.

The OPC interfaces use client handles specifically because the order of updates is not predicable.

All client side UI update logic needs to use the client handle to look up the correct UI element.
