ListView SmallImageList Problem

[pagates]

Hello All,

I am not sure if this is something Im overlooking, or a bug, or if its "just
the way it is." I am using VS2003.

I have a listview (in Details view), with the SmallImageList originally
unset (null). This is because I just display a "Please select a node in the
tree" type informational message.

When I select a node in the tree, then I either get some data in my list, or
I need to put up a "No Data Here" message in the list. When I have data, I
want to display an icon on the item to show what kind of data it is. When I
do not have data, I don't want to display an icon.

So, a simplified version of a piece of my code is this:

tvwTheTree_NodeClick(....)
{
if (HasData)
lvwDetails.SmallImageList = imgList1;
else
lvwDetails.SmallImageList = null;
}

The problem is, once the SmallImageList is set to imgList1, it never
"releases" the icon spacing, even when the SmallImageList is set to null.
The item is always indented the same whether there is an icon or not.

So, what am I missing?

Thanks,
