listview?

[Dan]

I have a list view box with around 10 columns and any amount of rows. The
first 3 columns in a row pertain to a part. The 7 remaining columns I would
like to mimick a checkbox look. Basically, the part can belong to 7
different things and I would like the user to be able to ckeck each column
that they would like the part to belong to.

Is this possible with VB .net and it's existing controls? Or do I have to
create a custom control?


Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan

I wouldn;t go with ListView as there would be too much work involved to customise it too your needs.
Instead i would customise a datagrid. There is a very good article at the Url below by Dr. Clay
Burch, .NET MVP that should guide you through this. The lower half of the article should be of
particular use in your scenario.
