Visual Basic, Adding icons to a Listview object

Adding icons to a Listview object

Author	Message
Iain Marshal #1 / 3	Adding icons to a Listview object I have 3 listview controls in a form, and I'm adding items to each one, 5 in the first, 4 in the second and nine in the third. All Listviews have the same properties. The icons in the first are aligned as icons do in, for example explorer - aligned to the left of the listview. In the second listview, the icons are centered in the box and are closer together than the first listview's icons. Even worse, in the third, the icons are over to the right of the box, and cause a horizontal scroll bar to appear. How to I specify the postion of the icons, and the space between them ? Thanks in advance.

Royston Da #2 / 3	Adding icons to a Listview object Hi there, Quote: > All Listviews have the same properties. Maybe you could try making a Control Array of your listview objects (based on the one which seems to be working as you'd like it to)...this would be a fairly sure way of making sure that all of the properties were indeed the same. If the ListView objects still don't behave the way you'd like them to after doing this...I'm not sure what the problem is! If it worked OK, and you didn't want them as an array, then just change the names. (I haven't used this object myself B4, BTW) rd

Iain Marshal #3 / 3	Adding icons to a Listview object Thanks for the suggestion, but I figured out what is was. I moved the icons from a listview which didn't display them correctly to the one that did, and the same thing happened - all icons over to the left causing a scroll bar to appear. I just happened to notice that the icon text was a bit longer, so I shortenend the text in all icons and hey presto ! I still don't know why the icon text length should affect their position in ther listview. The other thing I noticed was that making the listview unsorted made the icon spacing much bigger than when it was sorted - another of the listview control's "features"...
