How to add columns to the ListBox 1

[Jsd02]

I need a listbox with columns, you know columns like in kazaa when you're in the traffic screen you see a listbox with columns "title", "artist", "user" etc. How to do that?

A listbox only contains one column. For multi-column lists, you want a ListView control. To create one, just drop one on the form from the toolbox.

To add columns to it, you call the Add method:

listView1.Columns.Add("Column Name", -2, HorizontalAlignment.Left)

The -2 means to autosize the column to the size of the header text. You can also pass in a -1, which means to autosize the column to the width of the largest subitem text in the column. The HorizonatalAlignment should be self-explanatory.

To add items to the listview, you can call the AddRange method, or work your way through the Items collection:

ListViewItem MyItem = listView1.Items.Add("Item1");
MyItem.SubItems.Add("SubItem1");
MyItem.SubItems.Add("SubItem2");

another question about listview. How to change the views of the listview? I need "detailed" view

 

[chiph]

There's an enumeration named View. You pass in View.Details to the ListView's View property.

You can find out more about the listview at:
