A column of checkboxes (checkbox) in a list view (listview) control (.NET)

[Al Findlay]

Hello!

In Visual Basic .NET (1.1)...

Is it possible to have a column of check boxes in a list view? So, for
example, a column named "Tested?" can have a boolean value assigned to
it in a nice, neat way?...

Product Name | Product version | Tested?
----------------------------------------------------
Prod1 | 1.1 | [ ]
Prod2 | 2.0 | [/]
Prod3 | 0.1 | [ ]

etc...

If not, what would be a good workaround (images?)

Thanks a lot!

Al.

That's not supported directly. You may want to use a datagrid control instead.

This may or may not be sufficient, but a list view does allow you to
display a checkbox next to each item in the control.

To use this, set the ListView.CheckBoxes property to true;

ACK.

I have found this little nugget in MSDN...

Although it is for combo boxes, I'm sure it could easily be changed
for any user control.
