Bug fixes and minor enhancements to the control:

The Selected property of a ListItem always returned false, meaning it was impossible to determine which items were selected in a multi-select ListView. Corrected. Same problem with the ItemCut property.

Icon property of ListItem set the icon of the next item along in the control. Fixed.

Position property added to the ColumnHeader object to allow the order of the column headers to be read and set programmatically.

Insert before parameter to the Add method of the ListItems collection was ignored. Corrected.

Setting a column alignment to right caused the column to be centred, and vice-versa. Fixed.

Mouse Up events were only generated for double-clicks. Now corrected.

A KeyDown event was generated when a KeyUp should have been. Fixed

Option to place the background image at a specified location rather than tile it added.

NoColumnHeaders property added to allow column headers to be hidden in Detail view.

Added a call to LoadLibrary on Shell32.DLL to prevent crashes when using a manifest.

Thanks to Ben Andersen, Ian Goodwin, Vasanth Raj, Greg Thomson, Frank Peters for the bug reports and code.

I’m currently using your VB6 ListView control to develop an application. Unfortunately, I’ve run into a problem with the mouse. The MouseUp event is only generated by a double-click. A single-click does not fire the MouseUp event. I’ve had a look at the control’s source code and it appears that the ISubClass_WindowProc control isn’t receiving the message from Windows. This behaviour is demonstrated in your test application as well. I’ve only got Windows XP available to test on but I wouldn’t have thought the version of Windows would make any difference. I was intending to use the MouseUp event to display a context sensitive mouse menu. Is there a way to correct the problem or could you suggest a workaround? Having found your ListView control I’d really hate to go back to the MS provided one!
