    Resolved ListView BackgroundImage [RESOLVED]

    Why isn't this working...

    VB Code:
    1. ListView1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("c:\tst.bmp")

    ...

    I've found this:

    http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/faqs/?...dimage&lang=en

    on the forums...


    but the listview DOES have the BackgroundImage property... What's it use if it doesn't work the way I tired?

    try this mate might just be that the control will accept bitmaps rather than images

    Dim oBMP As New Bitmap(sFileName)
    ListView1.BackgroundImage = obmp

    Re: ListView BackgroundImage [UNRESOLVED]

    Worked for me using a jpg. Visual Studio 2005 listview has a background image property, the 2003 control does not. In 2005, it worked fine and loaded my test jpg into the listview background...
    VB Code:
    1. 'worked fine in 2005 express

    2. ListView1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("c:\test.jpg")
    Are you sure you gave it the right file path? I do realize you are missing an "e" if you meant "test.bmp"... but even if that is correct, if you are using 2005, then it should still work...

    Re: ListView BackgroundImage [UNRESOLVED]

    The ListView has to have a BackgroundImage property because it is inherited from the Control class. It is just not displayed in the designer because it has been overridden to have no effect, which is why setting it in code does nothing. Presumably Microsoft decided to reinstate the property's behaviour in .NET 2.0 as people must have wanted it and complained about it not having an effect in .NET 1.x.
