Listview icons in header but not in rows.

[Worker]

In VB.net 2005.

I attach an imagelist to a listview in details mode so that I can put icons on the column headers to indicate sort direction.

This works fine but it also puts a blank area in front of every row inserted into the listview, presumably it is space for an icon. I will not be having icons on any rows in the listview.

 

Is there someway to remove this blank space or to have the column headers use an external imagelist that doesnt make the listview put the space there in the first place?
