displaying many lines in ListView

[Piotrek Stachowicz]

Hello,
Is there possibility to display many lines of text in a single item (in
ListView)? I'd like the text to wrap. I must use View.Details mode.

If so, how?!
Thx

In details mode, it wont be possible to make the text wrap in the .NET
listview. Becoz listview shows only ColumnHeaders to resize. There is no row
headers available. The row height will be automatically determined by the
Fontsize of the control.

You can show the tooltip if the text overflows during mouse hover.

Hi,
Tooltip would be quite a good idea if it weren't for the fact that I 'd
have to associate with ListViewItem, rather than control. Any suggestions
how to do this?

Piotrek,

You have to set the tooltip for control, but the messages will change
dynamically based on users mouse move

The following code demonstrates showing tool tip for first column which
always has text overflown during mousemove of listview.

private void listView1_MouseMove(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
ListViewItem item = listView1.GetItemAt(e.X,e.Y);

if(item != null)
{
if(item.Text != "")
{
this.myToolTip.SetToolTip(listView1,item.Text);
}
else
{
this.myToolTip.RemoveAll();
}
}
else
{
this.myToolTip.RemoveAll();
}
}
