ListView - Why do all ListView's have a Bottom Gap?

[quantass]

Just trying to add a listview (in Report mode in VC++ using Win32 Apis) and noticed that no matter what i do there is always a bottom gap just after the last item in my ListView. How do i get rid of this gap? I have turned on Grids and so this gap is very distracting.

Does anyone know?

I'm not sure what 'gap' you're reffering to...Can you post a sample project illustrating this?

I don't understand. What gap ? Can you paste a small picture here ?
Also, note, how is it that the it is there always ? I would have thought it should appear depending on what the height of the list control is..

Ok i've posted a picture for you all..Notice just afterthe last item "Hide on Click" there is a vertical gap...What is that? I didnt add a blank item to the bottom. My last is "Hide on Click". How do i turn that feature off?

[kirants]

Well, as I said, did you try reducing the size of the list view in resource editor ?? That gap is not a bug.

Is there a way to rid this extra vertical spacing without having to reduce the height of the control. I would very much like to keep that size.

[kirants]

No. Think about it. You specify a control to be of certain size. Now, you fill in say , just 3 items, what is the controls supposed to do with the extra space ? Stretch all items to exactly fit ?

If that is what you want, you have to owner draw the control..

Thanks very much kirants...i think we are on different pages however, i was goofing around and just realized that it has to do with Inegral Heights that ListView uses. If i turn it off then the gap disappears which now makes sense.
