List View item with icons..

[Exploration Gaming]

Can someone provide a sample of using the ListView with icons? I noticed there isn't an Additem function only Insert. And I also wanted to know if the column commands are disable/ignored when in Icon mode.  There doesn't appear to be a "key" for the items added so how do you reference the items?

Any help would be appreciated..

Hi Tye,

I think that you're asking for an example of showing icons in a Listview set to LVS_ICON style. I have attached a project that shows one way of creating it.

I add the icons to the FireFly Image Library and then load them into a Listview Imagelist that I attach to the Listview.

See the attached project.

   ' The icons would have been already added to the Image Library
   hIcon = LoadIcon( App.hInstance, "IMAGE_33")
   nPosition1 = ImageList_AddIcon( hImageList, hIcon )

   nPosition2 = ImageList_AddIcon( hImageList, hIcon )
   DestroyIcon hIcon

   hIcon = LoadIcon( App.hInstance, "IMAGE_35")
   nPosition3 = ImageList_AddIcon( hImageList, hIcon )
   DestroyIcon hIcon
