ListView checkbox problem

I have the following code:
TStringList *Results = new TStringList;
TListItem *ListItem;
if(SearchForFile(GauFolder, "*.gau", Results))
{
Label1->Caption = Results->Count;
for(int x = 0; x < Results->Count; x++)
{
ListItem = ListView1->Items->Add();
ListItem->Caption =
Results->Strings[x].SubString(Results->Strings[x].LastDelimiter("\\")+1,40);
ListView1->Items->Item[x]->Checked = TRUE;
}
}
It does a recursive search for files and returns the results in a Stringlist. I
want ALL the results to have their checkbox checked.
Out of 105 items on the list, there are several that are UNchecked! If I keep
rerunning the application, the same ones are unchecked.
Anyone have any idea what's happening?
Thanx!

ListView1->Items->Item[x]->Checked = TRUE;
You already have a pointer to the particular item, so you should be using

that instead of going though the Items property, ie:
ListItem->Checked = true;

Unless you are clearing the ListView prior to performing the search, then

you are using the wrong index when accessing the ListView's Items property.
You are using indexes into the TStringList, not the TListView. All the more
reason to just use the TListItem pointer that you already have, then you
don't have to index into the Items property at all.
