listview

[Guest bmaxwell]

does anybody know how to make vertical column headers in a listview?

[divil]

Can you describe what you mean?

[Guest bmaxwell]

normally when you use the headers they are horizontal like this:

 

Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3

 

I'm trying to make a gradebook application and I need them vertical like this:

 

H | H | H

e | e | e

a | a | a

d | d | d

e | e | e

r | r | r

| |

1 | 2 | 3

ListViews don't account for carriage returns (new lines) so you're pretty much out of luck. You might want to look for an alternative to the ListView.

what if I was to do an owner drawn listview...could I maybe put the headers vertical then?

[divil]

Probably, I wasn't aware the listview supported owner drawing though.

[Guest bmaxwell]

I don't know about vb6 but I've seen it done in .NET

[divil]

I knew you could owner draw listboxes in .NET, but not listviews. Got any example urls?

[Guest bmaxwell]

this is one of the examples i found, but it's in c#...

Thanks. I find C# reads just like VB anyway.

so can you help me now? or does it just seem hopeless?
