Why Listview ?

[--== Alain ==--]

Hi,

I would like to know why a lot of people wants to work with ListView
control when DataGridView control already do the same thing ?

for example, in my case i would like to display spin controls,
progressbars controls, images, text, checkboxes,...

it's now more than 2 weeks that i try to understand how ListView works
and what can i do with it...

When i just discovered that DataGridView has mainly all implemented...

So, what is so much interesting in ListView for people ?
thx.

Al.

Alain,

The listview is the right pane from Windows Explorer. It has not all but
plenty of its possibilities (icon view etc). It is especially fine to show
directorys and things like that.

It is in my opinion as there are betters now a bad control for showing data.

I hope this gives an idea,

Cor

Hi Alain,

Because DataGridView doesn't do the same thing.
