Wrap listview column header

Is there a way to get the text in a column header to wrap to multiple lines?
I'm using vb.net 2003.

Hello Marco,

The common control ListView as defined in Windows itself and implemented in
..NET Framework does not support multi-line column headers. If you still want
to implement this, you can consider coding a control inheriting from
System.Windows. Forms.ListView, or use owner-draw to user paint the column
headers. You could reference
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/customheader.asp for the latter.

The clcik event on the ListView control seems to trigger off the item level ( the first column ). I would like to be able to trap the click event on a particular subitem ( a specific column's row ). If possible, what do I do to activate that 'cell' - thanks. I thought that listView.LabelEdit = true; would enable me to navigate into the cells or something like listView.items .subitems.LabelEdit - but I did not see such a property....

Using VB.NET I have a ListView with several columns. Two columns contain integer values, while the remaining contain string values. I am confused as to how I would provide functionality to sort columns based on the column header the user has clicked in both Ascending and Descending formats.

Listview is Docked=Fill I set all column widths to -2 and it works as expected if the listview needs to be too wide for the window. That is, I get an H-scrollbar and the columns are the correct size. However, if the window (and thus the listview) is wider that the listview needs to be it makes the last column extra wide so that it fills the right side of the window.
