ListViews, 2 questions, please read...

1. After I inputted a word from a file and put it into a ListView, how in the world do I change the color in the index of the ListView that I just inputted without changing any colors of other data or elements in the Listview???


set item=listview1.listitems.add(word)
<code> ?????


2. after i input all the data I want into the ListView, it puts them all in many columns and rows like a table, screwing up the whole purpose of what I'm trying to accomplish. How do i just have it listed in one nice row with NO horizontal scroll bar, only a vertical scroll bar?

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it to anybody who helps. Thanks again!

1.
item.ForeColor = &H8080FF'sets the new item to red

if you want it to be set back to another colour when the next item is entered:

Code:

---

if ListView2.ListItems.Count > 0 then'error on first pass without this
 Set itmx = ListView2.ListItems(ListView2.ListItems.Count)
    itmx.ForeColor = &H80000008
end if

 'now add the new one

---

2. adjust the width of the columns so they fit

this is in form load of the project I'm working on at the moment:

the listview has 2 columns and this adjusts the right hand one

the -300 is to allow for the verticle scroll bar when it appears.

Code:

---

With ListView2
  .ColumnHeaders(2).Width = (.Width - .ColumnHeaders(1).Width) - 300
End With
