Hi Folks,

Another post!?

Does anyone know how to put a checkbox into a listview??

I have a listview with 3 columns (Name, Address, Mailing List) and I would like to add a checkbox into the Mailing List column.

Can this be done and, is so, how? I have been looking in some books for this, but they all seem cover adding a checkbox to the first column using the properties, but there doesnt seem to any mention of adding it to another column.

As always, ideas, thoughts and tip are gratefully receieved!

The standard ListView does not allow that.
What I do, is to use a FlexGrid. I created a checkboxOn and checkboxOff icons, and I display them using the CellPicture property. In the MouseDown even, I check if the mouse is on the region where a picture is, and if yes I toggle it. It is easy and much cheaper than a third party component (there are a lot of grid componets out there, but the good one are pricy and usually they have away much more feature than some usully needs)

Hi Folks,

Just to tidy things up a little;

While it is not possible to add a checkbox to anyother column than column 1, it is possible move column positions using the code below:

If (MailingList = "Y") Then

   'Set Checkbox to true
   listView1.ListItems.Item(piListItem).Checked = True

End If

   'Change position of the columns
   'Checkbox Column moved to column 3
   listView1.ColumnHeaders.Item(1).Position = 3

   'Column 2 moved to column 1
   listView1.ColumnHeaders.Item(2).Position = 1

   'Column 3 moved to column 2
   listView1.ColumnHeaders.Item(3).Position = 2


Hope this proves useful,
