building tabpages with listview..

I am working on an application where I want to create tabpages with a listview on them in which I display the content of a section of either an INI file or a XML.. I am having some trouble figuring out the best way to do this.. So far I guess it's sort of like:

setup listview
setup tabpage
setup listview to display on tabpage..

I can however not figure out how to use 1 (string)variable (named Group) to setup a unique listview (lstGroup) and tabpage (tabGroup) Right now I pass the groupname to the code building the tabpage and listview three times as in : call buildtab(Group, Group, Group) ... There must be a way to use 1 unique name and convert that from a string to a listview to a tabpage right?

probably a simple solution, but I just seem to be missing it..

any help as always much appreciated..

Perhaps you could create your own tabpage (inheriting from Windows.TabPage), which exposes a listview, or a collection of listviews, as a property of the TabPage.

So you can have code to the effect of:

VB Code:

MyTabPage.ListViews.Add()
 MyListView = MyTabPage.ListViews(i)

I think I understand what you are saying, but have no idea how to do this.. any pointers as to where I can find information on this?
