    Resolved [RESOLVED] listview column spacing

    I have a listview and by default it is set to large icons, no problems there. But if giving the user a choice I would liek to see details in the options. I have it set to switch between icons and details but in details mode there is a lot of spacing in the first column. Image attached. The code is below showing how I am loading the listview. Also why so much vertical spacing as well.
    Code:
     Public Sub ListFoldersFiles(ByVal path As String, ByVal lvTemp As ListView, ByVal imgLtemp As ImageList)      
            ' Create a reference to the current directory.
            Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(path)
           
            If Directory.Exists(di.ToString) Then
                ' Create an array representing the files in the current directory.
                Dim fi As FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
                Dim fiTemp As FileInfo
                Array.Sort(fi, New compclass(SortOrder.Ascending))
    
                lvTemp.Items.Clear()
                ' Loop through each file in the directory
                For Each fiTemp In fi
                    Dim strImageKey As String = String.Empty
                    Try
                        ' gets the icon from file
                        Dim ico As Icon = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(path & fiTemp.Name)
                        If ico IsNot Nothing Then
                            Dim bmp As Bitmap = ico.ToBitmap()
                            strImageKey = bmp.GetHashCode.ToString
                            imgLtemp.Images.Add(strImageKey, bmp)
                            Form1.ImageList3.Images.Add(strImageKey, bmp)
                        End If
                    Catch ex As Exception
    
                    End Try
    
                    ' split the extension off so we can use just the text.
    
                    Dim rFileName As Array = Split(fiTemp.Name, ".")
                    Dim fname As String = rFileName(0)
    
                    ' add full name to tag so we can call it later seeing how we 
                    ' don't use the extension for the text.
                    Dim item As New ListViewItem(fname, imgLtemp.Images.Count - 1) With {.Tag = path & fiTemp.Name}
                    lvTemp.Items.Add(item)
    
                    If Form1.tvFolders.SelectedNode.Name <> "Jackson County" Then
                        item.SubItems.Add(Form1.tvFolders.SelectedNode.Parent.Name)
                        item.SubItems.Add(fiTemp.Name)
                    End If              
    
                Next fiTemp
    
            End If
        End Sub
    And here is the listview click event I change to details.
    Code:
    Private Sub MnuDetails_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MnuDetails.Click
            lvFiles.SmallImageList = ImageList3
            lvFiles.View = View.Details
            
            ' Select the item and subitems when selection is made.
            lvFiles.FullRowSelect = True
    
            ' Sort the items in the list in ascending order.
            lvFiles.Sorting = SortOrder.Ascending
    
            lvFiles.Columns.Add("Title", -1, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
            lvFiles.Columns.Add("Tree", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
            lvFiles.Columns.Add("Name", -2, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
    
        End Sub
