Embedded GroupBox in ListView

Question

I have a custom class NewsBox derived from GroupBox, with a couple of standard labels in each NewsBox.

I'm looking to put these into a ListView, so basically rather than a list of text in columns, a list of groupboxes.

listView1.Controls.Add(new NewsBox());

The above works for the first box, but doesn't show any ones after that.

How would I go about accomplishing what I need?

A listbox always has a list of items never multiple columns. You say you are using a listview but since you say a list of text in columns it is not clear to me that you are familiar with them. The items in a listview are added to the Items collection not the Controls collection. I don't know what is happening by adding NewsBox objects to the Controls collection but I would not expect it to do what you are trying to do.

Hello Brennan check the items count of listview after adding one gruopbox and check again items count of listview after adding second groupbox for doing this you can know that groupbox are adding in listview successfully or not....once you confirm that your code for adding groupbox more that one working properly than it can happen the groupbox are adding in listview on same place or may be it is all happening because of property setting of listview like GroupsAutoarrangeAlignmentSorting or column setting.. thanks please mark as answer if it helps
