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.

Under some circumstances (still to be determined) drag-drop of ListView items stops working. Subsequently no items can be dragged or dropped until a new instance of the control is created.

I believe this is related to a problem seen in the TreeView control. If you tried to start drag-drop directly from a Sent message, dragging sometimes went wrong and the control crashed. This was resolved by posting a custom message to the control and starting drag-drop from there. I expect this will improve matters.
