Add items to ListView?

I have the code below which puts two column headers at the top of my ListView control, (Title) and (Description). . .

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
   
    Me.ListView1.View = lvwReport
   
    Me.ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Clear
    Me.ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Title", ListView1.Width / 2
    Me.ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Description", ListView1.Width / 2
End Sub

---

Can anyone show me the code I can add to this that will add one item in the list view control with the text (Item Title) under the ‘Title’ column and (Item Description) under the ‘Description’ column?


.

Try this:

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
   
    Me.ListView1.View = lvwReport
   
    Me.ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Clear
    Me.ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Title", ListView1.Width / 2
    Me.ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Description", ListView1.Width / 2

    With Me.ListView1.ListItems
        .Add , , "Item Title 1"
        .Add , , "Item Title 2"
    End With

    Me.ListView1.ListItems(1).SubItems(1) = "Item Description 1"
    Me.ListView1.ListItems(2).SubItems(1) = "Item Description 2"

End Sub

Dam I feel dumb. That was easy. How about adding icons to the items in the list? I have a handful of icons (.ICO files) I need to programmatically add (from a network share or hard drive) to the items in the list. Is that pretty easy to do too?

Icons are very easy to add too. First you need to add an ImageList control to your form, for this example we'll call it imlSmallIcons. Then add all the small icons you want to use. Next, view the property sheet, and click on the ImageLists tab. Click the dropdown next to Small and select imlSmallIcons.

Now, when you add a new item to the ListView control, you can specify an index, or its key. The following code adds a new item, with its small image set to the first image in the imlSmallIcons Image List:

Code:

---

ListView1.ListItems.Add , , "Test Image Item", , 1

---

Note that to see the small icons, the View property needs to be set to lvwSmallIcon

To add icons to column headers, simply select the image list you want to use in the ColumnHeaders drop down, and add the Image Index in the Report Property:

Code:

---

ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Name", , , 1

---

This may be another stupid question, however when I am testing the code above for my application - I get all types of errors. Specifically that the columnheaders property or the listitems property is not part of the listview object.

I have just pulled the ListView control from toolbox in VB 2005 Express Edition - do I have an incorrect reference for this object.

Where have I gone wrong? Thanks.

The ListView control is different in VB.Net so there are different methods resulting in different syntax.
