Hi all,

I'm a bit stumped with this, wondering if anyone can shed some light.

I'm using C# (2003), created a Form with a TabControl on it. The first tab contains text entry fields, the second contains a ListView control with View set to Details. I've added two column headers in design mode (which show up beautifully in design mode).

The TabControl starts out disabled and then becomes enabled. At that point, when I change to the second tab page, the ListView control has a flat, gray bar at the top (as if no columns were added). Further, if I try to add items to the ListView, they don't show up. If I change the View of the ListView to anything other than Details, adding items works as you'd expect.

I'm not using any imagelists with the ListView control, and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any ideas?

Not sure if you ever solved your problem. However, I had the same problem and I thought I would just post the solution I found in case others have the same problem.

The problem I had that was showing the same behavior was that when I was clearing the data I mistakenly was clearing the listview object instead of the items from the listview object. So, this is why you could posibly see the columns in the designer, but not at runntime. So, change the following:

listview1.Clear();

to

listview1.Items.Clear();

Gook Luck!
