RE: Too Many ListView Columns

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Greg,

ListView is a more advanced control than ListBox. A key difference is the
ListView has four different display mode. This can be set in the
ListView.View property in designer. The default value is View.LargeIcon,
which displays the items from left to right in the same row and will
display in the second row when the first row is full. I think this is the
behavior you see in your program. The detailed behavior of different
display mode is documented below:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.view.aspx

To display the ListView like the ListBox, you should change the
ListView.View property to View.Details. This will show each item in a row.
Note: View.Details enables the columns for the subitems, so you should also
add several columns in ListView.Columns property in designer. Then, your
items and subitems will map to each column you added in the
ListView.Columns property.

For a sample regarding using ListView in details mode, please refer to the
article below:

Hope this helps.
