[SEMI-RESOLVED] Problem with removing ListView's ColumnHeader

I have come accross a strange problem while removing ListView's ColumnHeader.

Here's a sample code (works with ListView1 and Command1):

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Dim lX As Long
  Dim liItem As ListItem
 
  ListView1.View = lvwReport
  ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add 1, , "1"
  ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add 2, , "2"
  ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add 3, , "3"
 
  For lX = 1 To 10
    Set liItem = ListView1.ListItems.Add
   
    liItem.Text = lX
    liItem.SubItems(1) = lX * 2
    liItem.SubItems(2) = lX * 3
   
    Set liItem = Nothing
  Next lX
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Remove 1
  ListView1.Refresh
End Sub

When i try to remove the 1st column, it seems to work, but, all data is "copied" to the 2nd column. I just can't get it to work correctly.

Am i missing something? :ehh:

OK. I have managed to sort my situation (which is far more complex) with a work-around. But this still puzzles me...

What workaround are you using... One workaround that I can think of is hiding the entire column... by setting it's width to 0... just a thought..

@kollsid: that's exactly what i'm trying to avoid ;)

My workaround resets all the values in the column that was not removed. Of course, this takes some unneccessary time.

Yeah, I was thinking about this as well... What I mean is copying the data from the listview to an array and after deleting the column add the necessary data back...

let me play around with it... let's see if there is an easier method...

Ok try this

Code:

---

Option Explicit
Dim lX As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim liItem As ListItem
    ListView1.View = lvwReport
    ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add 1, , "1"
    ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add 2, , "2"
    ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add 3, , "3"
    For lX = 1 To 10
        Set liItem = ListView1.ListItems.Add
        liItem.Text = lX
        liItem.SubItems(1) = lX * 2
        liItem.SubItems(2) = lX * 3
        Set liItem = Nothing
    Next lX
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim Ar(), i, j, k, itm, liItem
   
    ReDim Ar(ListView1.ListItems.Count, ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Count - 2)
   
    i = 0
   
    For Each itm In ListView1.ListItems
        For j = 0 To (ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Count - 2)
            Ar(i, j) = itm.SubItems(j + 1)
        Next j
        i = i + 1
    Next

    ListView1.ListItems.Clear

    ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Remove 1

    For j = LBound(Ar) To UBound(Ar) - 1
        Set liItem = ListView1.ListItems.Add
        liItem.Text = Ar(j, 0)
        For k = 0 To (ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Count - 2)
            liItem.SubItems(1) = Ar(j, k + 1)
        Next
    Next
End Sub

This is practically the same as my procedure, only a little faster. Ty ;)

However, few people can work on this app at real time. If some data changes, my procedure updates it (from DB).

I'm still not satisfied with eather solution. I'll dig more into LV's Remove() method.
