Adding Items to LIstviews at Runtime......HELP!

[tgo57]

I need the ability to add/delete/modify rows to a listview.
***********************************
* name * Ip address* Status * Ping*
***********************************
* Joe * 24.5.123.1* online * 123 *
* Bill * 24.1.2.3 * online * 234 *
* etc. *
***********************************

These rows can change at any time depending if someone is connected. I also do not know in advance how many rows there will be.
Problem: Listviews want you to define the row items (name, joe bill, etc) in the code before you start using them??? How can I do this or should I use a different control such as the GRID Control?......Much appreciate your answers.

Use the string array to store name*ip address...... and then
modify this array and use

List.Clear
List.Additem Array(index)

Yes this would do it........but I then have to keep track of how many connections are added to array and make sure I allocate enough elements in the array, I really don't know how many connections Im going to have so using the array could be risky?
Is there not a better way? Is this it?

VB allows one to redimesion arrays at runtime.

use following code :

Dim Arr() as string

Private Sub UserAdded()
           Redim Preserve Arr(ubound(arr)+1)
           Arr(ubound(arr))="Details of new user"
           Call WriteToList
End Sub

Private Sub WriteToList
         List1.Clear
         Dim i as integer
         For i=0 to ubound(arr)
                 List1.Additem arr(i)
         Next  

End Sub

Hope this will solve your problem. This code will take any number of user until you have RAM left on your system.
