subitem declaration

[howester77]

In my listview, I have 9 coloums and 9 rows, for a total of 81 (9x9) subitems. Is there any easier way to declare the subitems instead of doing it like this:

'Create SubItem 1
Dim itms1 As New Windows.Forms.ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem _
(itmp, "SubItem 1")

'Create SubItem 2
Dim itms2 As New Windows.Forms.ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem _
(itmp, "SubItem 2")

'Create SubItem 3
Dim itms3 As New Windows.Forms.ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem _
(itmp, "SubItem 3")

Dim lvItem as ListViewItem
Dim i as integer
For i = 0 to 20
lvitem = listview1.items.add("item " & i)
lvitem.subitems.add("item " & i)
lvitem.subitems.add("item " & i)
lvitem.subitems.add("item " & i)
lvitem.subitems.add("item " & i)
.
.
.
Next

then you can refer each subitem like this:

For each lvitem in ListView1.Items
lvitem.Subitems(2).Text = String.Empty 'third column will be emptied
Next

Cheers

yes, but my view mode is currently in View.Details, not View.Icons

What is the part that is confusing you? Actually, the code i've exposed above is just for details view ... just test it around and let me know if you need additional assistance ... Cheers

when I go into Detail mode, nothing except for a gray colum appears at the top.

Well it seems like i haven't understood very well your question ... however, take a look at the attached listviewcontrol attachment and let me know what is that you can't get there .... Cheers

ok thanks I got it. How do you delete everything in an listview control?

 

[kulrom]

Listview1.Items.Clear()

Cheers

 

[howester77]

that just clears objects. How do you clear everything? for example, I start the program with a blank listview1 (no coloums/rows, nothing)and add things on to it. How do I get it back to the way it was when you start the program?

 

[kulrom]

ListView1.Clear() 'removes everything (columnheaders, items ....)

Cheers
