Listview w/ Checkboxes - Width?

[jolamb42]

Hello!

I am using a listview control with checkboxes to display a list of items the user can check or uncheck.

The properties of my listview are set as follows:
View = 2 - lvwList
Arrange = 0 - lvwNone
LabelEdit = 1 - lvwManual
BorderStyle = 1 - ccFixedSingle
Appearance = 1 - cc3D
OLEDragMode = 0 - ccOLEDragManual
OLEDropMode = 0 - ccOLEDropNone
HideColumnHeaders = False
HideSelection = True (and I've tried False)
LabelWrap = True (and I've tried False)
MultiSelect = False
Enabled = True
AllowColumnReorder = False
Checkboxes = True
FlatScrollbar = False
FullRowSelect = True (and I've tried False)
Gridlines = False
HotTracking = False
HoverSelection = False

My problem is that, no matter what width/height I set my listview to, the text displays in one set length. So, most of my text is being cut off! Does anyone know how to make the text next to my checkboxes in the listview wider??

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Padd them all with spaces. i.e. If your longest enntry is 25 characters long set each of the text to be padded with spaces up to 25 characters long. Craig, mailto:sander@cogeco.ca

Craig,

Thanks for the response. I tried adding extra spaces at the end of my text and that didn't work.

If I can't get the listview to work, I may just use a tree view w/ checkboxes and align all my nodes to the left.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Why not use a listbox instead of a listview.

In the listview isn't their a setting for column width? Craig, mailto:sander@cogeco.ca

The ColumnHeaders tab on the Property Pages for the Listview allows setting of width per column.
Or, by code:
lv.ColumnHeaders(1).Width = 100
