Details:
Use the ListView control to determine the characteristics of the list entries,
which are called ListItem objects, that can be displayed in one of four views.
The available views are Icon view, Small Icon view, List view, and Report
view, which can be set using the View property. You can also determine whether the
list entry labels are allowed to wrap to the next line by setting the
LabelWrap property. The appearance of specified list entries as well as how they are
sorted can also be controlled through other ListView properties.
A ListItem object defines the various characteristics of items in the ListView
control. These characteristics include:
A short item description.
Icons that can be displayed with the item. Icons are supplied by an ImageList
control.
Subitems, which are additional pieces of text related to a ListItem object.
You can display these subitems in Report view.
You can add ColumnHeaders at any time. You can also control the visibility of
ColumnHeaders in the ListView control by setting the HideColumnHeaders property.
