Listview

[tehon3299]

I have a listview with 2 columns and I need to know how to put things in the second column. When I do a:

lvwTeams.Items.Add(myReader.GetValue(6) & " (" & myReader.GetValue(2) & myReader.GetValue(3) & ")")

it only puts thing in the first column. How do I do this??

Have a look at SubItems of the ListViewItems...

Here's a sample project (checkout Form2)

in vb6, (im sure its the same now) the add method would return a listItem (not sure what its called now), then you could do listItem.SubItems(X) and set the other columns. Same way with a tree view and tree nodes in .NET (only similar control ive used in .net) - im sure there will be additional .Add signitures so you can add listItems staight off.

OK...Now I don't know how many rows I will have since I am getting this from an SQL table. So how would I create these "items1, items2..." on the fly?

The "1" can be an everchanging field value from the table (dataReader)

 item1.SubItems.Add("1")

[edit]
In the CreateMyListView routine, there is no loop but obviously you will have a loop.... While MyReader....

But how would I change the first column from "Item1" to whatever I am reading?

define a Litem as listviewitem

then

Litem= lvwTeams.Items.add...(whatever)
Litem.subitems.add (thats your second col..)
