listview question

hi I added listview to my form now after clicking on different buttons I want listview to have different columns. This is my code:

ListView1.Columns.Add("File type", 20, HorizontalAlignment.Left)

ListView1.Columns.Add("Item Column", 20, HorizontalAlignment.Left)

ListView1.Columns.Add("Column 2",20, HorizontalAlignment.Left)

ListView1.Columns.Add("Column 3", 20, HorizontalAlignment.Left)

ListView1.Columns.Add("Column 4", 20, HorizontalAlignment.Center)

ListView1.Refresh()

ListView1.Update()

The problem is that after clicking the button nothing happens I don't see columns names!

What should I change

Well, it's the excuse I use!!

Sometimes, those sort of Fridays, start on Monday and last all week!!

Have a nice weekend.

Yes, the view was the main culprit. BUT, the column widths were too small as well. I guess I should have made more mention of the .View not being set. It's Friday evening.........what can I say

You have your column widths too small. Try this:

ListView1.View = View.Details

ListView1.Columns.Add("File type", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)

ListView1.Columns.Add("Item Column", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)

ListView1.Columns.Add("Column 2", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)

ListView1.Columns.Add("Column 3", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)

ListView1.Columns.Add("Column 4", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Center)

ListView1.Refresh()

Works good here. the Width does not reflect the number of characters you want in a column. It is an Integer value, but, I have looked to find

what it reflects but, so far, no luck.

I'll post back more if I find out.
