I am creating a personal application thats uses a listview. my listViewItem contains many subitems which i only want them to be displyed in Details mode. How can I get rid of unwanted subitems when the listview is been switched to Tile mode? Any help is appreciated!

I think you can control this with the Columns collection. When you switch to Tile view, clear the collection (ListView1.Columns.Clear()). When you switch to Detail view, re-create the collection:

    ListView1.Columns.Clear()
    ListView1.Columns.Add("Column 1")
    ListView1.Columns.Add("Column 2")
    ListView1.Columns.Add("Column 3")

Thanks Rod. Your suggestion works fine for me after making some changes to my code! By the way, I have just purchased a copy of your <<Visual Basic 2005 Programmer's Reference>>. Its very comprehensive. I would recommend any other novice programmers like me to have it on their bookshelf. Good Job!

Thanks! (If you have the time and are looking for a way to spend a few moments, post a review on Amazon or somewhere.)
