The listview control doesn’t support this itself.
You could create a real Syslink control that’s a child of the listview. You would need to sub-class the listview and reposition the Syslink control whenever the list scrolls (watch for WM_HSCROLL / WM_VSCROLL messages) or when items are added or removed, or when it’s sorted. You can use LVM_GETSUBITEMRECT to find out where to position it.
Alternatively, you could handle it yourself by using NM_CUSTOMDRAW to display the “link” in a different color, and handle NM_CLICK to catch when the user clicks on the link. This would be the simplest method in my opinion. Note that if you want a hand cursor to be displayed over the link you would still need to sub-class the list and handle WM_SETCURSOR yourself.
