Owner-drawn listview row height VS2005

[Guest]

Does anyone know of a simple method to allow you to change the row height of
an owner-drawn listview control in .NET 2.0 (VS2005) ?

Thanks in advance

Steve,

Does anyone know of a simple method to allow you to change the row height of
an owner-drawn listview control in .NET 2.0 (VS2005) ?

Increasing the control's font size?

Mattias,

Increasing the font size doesn't work for owner-drawn controls.

The listview exposes DrawItem and DrawSubItems events, while processing
these events increasing the font size has no effect.

Potentially I want each row to have a different height and therefore the
font size would not suit my requirements.

A ListView only has one height for all rows. A limitation inherited from
the Win32 control.

Joel,

Thanks for the response.

I was hoping that there would be some way to get around this limitation.

Perhaps one day MS will provide true managed controls instead of wrapping
the Win32 controls.
