creating a custom listview item

[Guest]

Can anyone point me in the direction of creating a custom listview item? I
guess the other question then - is this possible? I want to create a list of
listview items comprised each comprised of text and a set of textboxes.

This is going to be pretty hard to do. Windows Controls do not natively
support composition, so you would have to handle all the
repainting/positioning/etc, etc, yourself.

If you are able to, take a look at Windows Presentation Foundation, as
it would provide what you need much more easily.

Hi,

Why not using DataGrid?

Well, one could use a datagrid. They are different things,
conceptually, but if it suits the OP's needs, then by all means, it would
work.

Nich (hope I can call you nich),

you are absolutely right, there are many differences (conceptually and
visually), but if the needs are editable cells and UI Providers, maybe
the OP should reconsider using listview (by it's current
features...).
As in my opinion, the cost of owner drawing the list items climbs the
usefulness.

You might check out the following codeproject control:

http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/aa_listview.asp

This is a listview-like control (it does NOT inherit from .Net listview) which
has the hooks you need to embed a custom control into the list items of a given
column. I have used it, it works. Comes with source and some examples. It may
be that you can do the same with the 2.0 DataGridView as others have suggested .
.. . not sure about the custom control part, though.


HTH,

Thanks, Rick. I've dowloaded the files and will see if this fits in to what
I'm trying to accomplish.

Thanks for you help. I'll do a little research in to implementing this in to
a datagrid.
