Listview problem

[Cyber-Drugs]

I am using this code:

Dim fileUsers As New IO.StreamReader("file.csv")
Dim lineUsers As String()
While fileUsers.Peek() <> -1
  lineUsers = fileUsers.ReadLine().Split(",")
  ListView1.Items.Add(lineUsers(0))
End While

Now this works fine, except it loads the data into a very short column instead of the full way accross. How can I overcome this?


Cheers.

You need to adjust the width of the appropriate column. Check out the properties of the listview theres a Collums property, click the thingy and you can add and modify them.

in your form load event

listview1.Columns(0).Width = -1

-1 sets it to the widest data item

[grilkip]

in your form load event

listview1.Columns(0).Width = -1

-1 sets it to the widest data item

Damn that's good to know.

Tried both of those, tried setting the width in both code and in the column properties to -1 and to 240 (the width of the ListView item), and it still for some reason displays a little bit accross the way...

Also for some reason it doesn't show the column heading I have set

[mar_zim]

it seems that you are putting the data in the first column
try this one

'assuming that the firstcolumn name of your listview is columnheader1
'form load event
this.columnheader1.width=listview1.width-20

OK, I found the problem to be with me having

ListView1.View = Large

instead of

ListView1.View = Details


But now what happens is that I have made 3 columns, the first one has disappeared off to the left when the width properties says it should not...

Is there any possible reason why the left colum would disappear?

Cheers.

if you set listview.columns(0).width=-1 it makes that column the width of the widest item, pushing the other columns off to the right. (you said left...which i dont understand, maybe you can enlighten me...never seen that happen before, course never seen a ghost either.) i had the same problem, cept i was only using column(0).

you can also set the width this way.

in form load
listview1.Columns.Add("", 300, HorizontalAlignment.Center)

change 300 to whatever you want...i was only using one column, so i set it to the width of the control on the screen
