The gridlines are not appearing on my ListView.

And other extended styles? Do bothe LVS_EX_BORDERSELECT and LVS_EX_GRIDLINES "work"?

[MasterDucky]

LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT and LVS_EX_BORDERSELECT is working.

[VictorN]

LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT and LVS_EX_BORDERSELECT is working.

Then, perhaps, your current themes do show the gridlines very bad? Try another theme or, better the classic style!

[MasterDucky]

You're right Victor, my theme was the problem!

[VictorN]

You're right Victor, my theme was the problem!

Well, you are not the first!
And it is the reason I always use the old good classic style!

[Arjay]

Well, you are not the first!
And it is the reason I always use the old good classic style!

My problem is always that I have no style.
