Side-by-Side Folder Compare - Which box is best - ListBox, ListView or ????

I'm writing code to compare two directories side-by-side, like
FolderMatch or FolderSync.

I've used ListBoxes in VB6, so have the idea about concatenating
strings for list items, but have no experience with ListView.

Which control do you suggest I use?

The ListView is the more flexible of the two - it supports icons, columns
and more features that the listbox does not support.

Hidden data in ListBox/ListView items?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

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,...
