What control is this?

[gin]

Hey does anyone know the control to display all queries in Napster's search module?

I want to make a search module similar to napster's simple design. Anyone know what control they used, and any suggestions in implementing it?

Chances are good its a home-made control. You'll have to start from scratch. The best method is to create a list of features the control needs, then list all properties/methods/events, then code the control. That way you can have a well-made control that does the same type of thing.

Or you could just ask someone high up at Napster for the source code, and if they don't get too ticked, they might actually give it to you

Other than that, I think your stuck.

Well the chances of your second suggestion is pretty slim

Well what control do you think is the most identical? It's kind of a list box with multiple fields. Know any control like it?

If I can't find one close to it I might as well make the control, the problem is I don't know how to

Could you show me how or point me to the right direction?

I believe it's a ListView control.

Thanks!

I'll go play around with it and how it works. Just wondering, does this control have to be binded to a table?

[mlewis]

No; it can be totally independent. You can control it very easily but it's not entirely intuitive; MSDN is your best bet for good ideas.

Thanks for clearing things up
