  • 0

I have an app using ListView not unlike Explorer does, but when I set the ListView to SmallIcon view my items are not stacked in neat columns as they are in Explorer; they get scattered around, and it seems to depend on how long the text label is.

Also, when I set it to List view, the default size for the items is too small, so my labels get cropped.

I can’t for the life of me spot how to force Listview to use a fixed size, or to specify what that size is, for each listview item. I’m in C# WinForms but I’d be happy with a Win32 solution.

Thanks!
Dave

    FWIW, the current (Win7) explorer isn’t technically a listview, it’s a custom control, or so I’m told.

    Furthermore, items within a listview are positioned, so the solution to this probably involves setting the x/y position of each item as you add them to the listview.
