Tri state listview

I'm working with a subclassed listview control and I'd like to have the
ability to set the checkbox on a certain item to indeterminate. I've
tried adding three images to the stateimagelist (unchecked, checked,
and indeterminate), but setting the checkstate in the ItemCheck event
doesn't seem to do the trick. Actually, whenever I click on the
checkbox it seems to cycle through the images in the stateimagelist.

Also, once this item is set to indeterminate I'd like to lock it down
so that it's state cannot be changed. Any help on this matter would be
greatly appreciated

If you're not using icons (images) in a listView then i've got simple
solution for you:
1) prepare images: checked (0), unchecked(1), indeterminate (2)
2) disable checkBoxes in your listView
3) fill your listView.Items with wanted "ImageIndex " settings
4) "CheckedIndices " you've got to write yourself.

Elswere if you need images you can "imitate" the indeterminate
state by listViewItem.Ba ckColor (e.g. SystemColors.Co ntrol)

Hi I am using Listview and inherited listview control overriding WndProc & PreProcessMessage in ListView. I need this to customize listview to display only the page the user scrolls to. Since i am populating listview with more than 200,000 items. It is too slow and tried virtual listview. But that doesnot allow me to add images in the listview. So now trying to list only the page user scrolls to.

How can I fill up a listview with text file contents?

Thw way I'm currently doing it is using the subitems property to add it. Unfortunately,

I have a listview that can get itself into a situation where multiple items have the LVIS_FOCUSED state. According to the documentation, LVIS_FOCUSED means "The item has the focus, so it is surrounded by a standard focus rectangle. Although more than one item may be selected, only one item can have the focus. So how is it that I have multiple items with the focused state? Is this a bug in the Windows API?

I am trying to decide which of these controls to use to implement letting my user select a full row from MyList. The MyList has several columns which would be nice to sort by at run time. The MyList data is resident in a dataset table. I'm stuck and can't choose either because. If I choose ListView as my control I don't understand how to programmatically get the data from the dataset table

I have created a ListView control and have bound this to a datasource. Within the ItemTemplate of the ListView I have added another ListViewControl which is databound in the code behind. The idea is that when clicking on the "Show details" button the ListView for the appropriate row binds in the codebehind and displays the detail data for the selected row. I did something similar with a gridview control previously, but want to be able to...
