Question

Can you have a multicolumn listview control where one of the columns is a checkbox? Example code or links would be greatly appreciated.

I am using visual studio 2005

Allan Anderson created a custom control to let you do this. You can find it here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/list/aa_listview.aspx

Here’s some example code for that control:

     GlacialList mylist = new GlacialList();  mylist.Columns.Add( 'Column1', 100 ); // this can also be added            // through the design time support   mylist.Columns.Add( 'Column2', 100 );  mylist.Columns.Add( 'Column3', 100 );  mylist.Columns.Add( 'Column4', 100 );   GLItem item;  item = this.glacialList1.Items.Add( 'Atlanta Braves' ); item.SubItems[1].Text = '8v'; item.SubItems[2].Text = 'Live'; item.SubItems[2].BackColor = Color.Bisque; item.SubItems[3].Text = 'MLB.TV';   item = this.glacialList1.Items.Add( 'Florida Marlins' ); item.SubItems[1].Text = ''; item.SubItems[2].Text = 'Delayed'; item.SubItems[2].BackColor = Color.LightCoral; item.SubItems[3].Text = 'Audio';   item.SubItems[1].BackColor = Color.Aqua; // set the background         // of this particular subitem ONLY  item.UserObject = myownuserobjecttype; // set a private user object  item.Selected = true; // set this item to selected state  item.SubItems[1].Span = 2; // set this sub item to span 2 spaces   ArrayList selectedItems = mylist.SelectedItems;             // get list of selected items
