Visual Basic 2015 Select a item in Listview programatically

Question

I am trying to figure out how to show a item as selected on a listview in a form using Visual Basic 2015. I fill in a listview on a form load, then I want to be able to use up and down buttons on the form to move through the list. I have seen almost this exact question all over the place but none of the answers work. Some of the examples given don't even show up on the IDE as choices. I am using Visual Studio 2015 IDE. Does anyone have a link or code that is more recent to go with the new Visual Basic IDE?

Not sure if this is actually what you are looking for (or if there is a more elegant manner).

The comments are self-explanatory of what are we doing.

    ''Loading test items
    Private Sub frmTest_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.ListView1.Items.Add("Text1")
        Me.ListView1.Items.Add("Text2")
        Me.ListView1.Items.Add("Text3")
        Me.ListView1.Items.Add("Text4")
    End Sub

    ''Go up in the list
    Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Dim intActualIndex As Integer
        If Me.ListView1.SelectedItems.Count > 0 Then  ''We check if we have a selected item
            intActualIndex = Me.ListView1.SelectedIndices.Item(0)  ''We get the actual index of the selected item
            If intActualIndex < Me.ListView1.Items.Count - 1 Then Me.ListView1.Items(intActualIndex + 1).Selected = True  ''We set the .selected=true on the next item
        End If
    End Sub

    ''Go down in the list
    Private Sub Button3_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        Dim intActualIndex As Integer
        If Me.ListView1.SelectedItems.Count > 0 Then
            intActualIndex = Me.ListView1.SelectedIndices.Item(0)
            If intActualIndex > 0 Then Me.ListView1.Items(intActualIndex - 1).Selected = True
        End If
    End Sub
