Why Listview ?

Hi,

I would like to know why a lot of people wants to work with ListView
control when DataGridView control already do the same thing ?

for example, in my case i would like to display spin controls,
progressbars controls, images, text, checkboxes,...

it's now more than 2 weeks that i try to understand how ListView works
and what can i do with it...

When i just discovered that DataGridView has mainly all implemented...

So, what is so much interesting in ListView for people ?
thx.

Alain,

The listview is the right pane from Windows Explorer. It has not all but
plenty of its possibilities (icon view etc). It is especially fine to show
directorys and things like that.

It is in my opinion as there are betters now a bad control for showing data.

I hope this gives an idea,

Cor

Hi Alain,

Because DataGridView doesn't do the same thing.

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.

I am a newbie to C# and am having trouble trying to override a ListView property method. I have created a new class derived from the Forms.Listview and I cannot figure out the syntax to override ListView.Items.Add(), . I see that it is a virtual method so it should be easy to do. If anyone can help I would appreciate it greatly. I can do what I need to do in a different way this would just make everything significantly cleaner and eaasier...

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

Hi, I have a problem with Listview using checkboxes. If i check items by code BEFORE the form is shown the Listview.Items are confused during the ItemChecked Event !!! After showing the form every thing works fine: checking items by code as well as checking with mouse: Using the CheckdItems Property is confused too.

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...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
