There are a no. of properies for listview say Name Availability Description Activation Read/Write By using this property you can control how a user activates an item in the list view. You should not change the default setting unless you have a good reason for doing so because you will be altering a setting that the user have set for his or her entire system. The possible values are: ?Standard: This setting is that which the user has chosen for his or her machine. ?OneClick: Clicking an item activates it. ?TwoClick: Double-clicking an item activates it. Alignment Read/Write This property allows you to control how the items in the list view are aligned. The four possible values are: ? Default: If the user drags and drops an item it remains where he or she dropped it. ? Left: Items are aligned to the left edge of the ListView control. ? Top: Items are aligned to the top edge of the ListView control. ? SnapToGrid: The ListView control contains an invisible grid to which the items will snap. AllowColumn Reorder Read/Write If you set this property to true you allow the user to change the order of the columns in a list view. If you do so you should be sure that the routines that fill the list view are able to insert the items properly even after the order of the columns is changed. AutoArrange Read/Write If you set this property to true items will automatically arrange themselves according to the Alignment property. If the user drags an item to the center of the list view and Alignment is Left then the item will automatically jump to the left of the list view. This property is only meaningful if the View property is LargeIcon or SmallIcon. CheckBoxes Read/Write If you set this property to true every item in the list view will have a CheckBox displayed to the left of it. This property is only meaningful if the View property is Details or List. CheckedIndices CheckedItems Read-only These two properties gives you access to a collection of indices and items respectively containing the checked items in the list. Columns Read-only A list view can contain columns. This property gives you access to the collection of columns through which you can add or remove columns. FocusedItem Read-only This property holds the item that has focus in the list view. If nothing is selected it is null. FullRowSelect Read/Write When this property is true and an item is clicked the entire row in which the item resides will be highlighted. If it is false only the item itself will be highlighted. GridLines Read/Write Setting this property to true will cause the list view to draw grid lines between rows and columns. This property is only meaningful when the View property is Details. HeaderStyle Read/Write You can control how the column headers are displayed. There are three styles: ?Clickable: The column header works like a button. ?NonClickable: The column headers do not respond to mouse clicks. ?None: The column headers are not displayed. HoverSelection Read/Write When this property is true the user can select an item in the list view by hovering the mouse pointer over it. Items Read-only The collection of items in the list view. LabelEdit Read/Write When this property is true the user can edit the content of the first column in a Details view. LabelWrap Read/Write If this property is true labels will wrap over as many lines is needed to display all of the text. LargeImageList Read/Write This property holds the ImageList which holds large images. These images can be used when the View property is LargeIcon. MultiSelect Read/Write Set this property to true to allow the user to select multiple items. Scrollable Read/Write Set this property to true to display scrollbars. SelectedIndices SelectedItems Read-only These two properties contain the collections that hold the indices and items that are selected respectively. SmallImageList Read/Write When the View property is SmallIcon this property holds the ImageList that contain the images used. Sorting Read/Write You can allow the list view to sort the items it contains. There are three possible modes: ?Ascending ?Descending ?None StateImageList Read/Write The ImageList contains masks for images that are used as overlays on the LargeImageList and SmallImageList images to represent custom states. TopItem Read-only Returns the item at the top of the list view. View Read/Write A list view can display its items in four different modes: ?LargeIcon: All items are displayed with a large icon (32x32) and a label. ?SmallIcon: All items are displayed with a small icon (16x16) and a label. ?List: Only one column is displayed. That column can contain an icon and a label. ?Details: Any number of columns can be displayed. Only the first column can contain an icon.
