ListView control

[Ohad Young]

Hi,

I need to display multiple items, each has a textual description, icon and
enable multiple selection.
So far the ListView control seems to be the ideal control to use.
However, another requirement is that some of the items will have a checkbox
next to them while others will have a button or something similar.
Can I achieve this behavior using the ListView control ?
Is there some other free control that I can use?

I'd appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks, Ohad

AFAIK, it's not possible to have checkbox in listview.
Try to search for another component which give you this feature : search on
www.windowsforms.net for example.

Bye.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
Actually it’s possible to have checkboxes in a ListView by setting the
CheckBoxes property to true. Each and every item in the ListView will
have a checkbox.
My problem is that I’d like some of the items to have checkboxes, while
others have other controls, such as buttons, or nothing.

Any idea?

As I see it, the only way to do this is to inherit from ListView and paint
all items by youreself aswell as handling mouse and keyboard events (or
determine if an item has a checkbox, button or whatsoever in the OnItemCheck
method). This is some work but is still easier than creating the whole
control by youreself.
