Attaching unmanaged window handle with managed object

Friends,
I've a Win32 handle of a window of type SysListView32. I want to attach this Window handle to .NET managed object of type ListView.

Back during the days of MFC/C++ this can be done something like:

CListView *pListView = (CListView *)CWnd::FromHandle(hListView);
int itemCount = pListView->GetItemCount();

How can i do the same in C# The reason behind doing so is that i want to call the methods of ListView object to perform operations on ListViewControl such as getting number of items, clearing all items e.t.c.

    I don't think you can. The ListView control won't let you assign the Handle property. .NET controls need to keep control over the handle so they can re-create them when the control's style changes.
