DatagridView vs 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.

Hi Alain,

The two have completely different uses. The DataGridView is designed to
show data (very often the result of a database query) in a grid, much
like how Access displays data in Table View. The ListView control, on
the other hand, is used to display a list of items with icons.

Check out the MSDN site. There is a ton of great information there that
would answer most of your basic questions. Many of the articles supply
sample code, as well.

Hope that helps,
