listview

[bmaxwell]

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

 

[Divil]

Can you describe what you mean?

 

[bmaxwell]

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

Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3

Im 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 dont account for carriage returns (new lines) so youre 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 wasnt aware the listview supported owner drawing though.

 

[bmaxwell]

I dont know about vb6 but Ive seen it done in .NET

 

[Divil]

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

 

[bmaxwell]

this is one of the examples i found, but its in c#...

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

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