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.

The “.selected” property of the cListItem only appears to work if set programmatically. I was intending to use the “.selected” property to determine which of the items in the listView have been selected so the user can delete / copy / etc. them. The “lwvMain.SelectedItem” property correctly gives a cListItem reference to the selected cListItem but it doesn’t work when multiple items are selected. Is the selected property only meant to be used programmatically? Using the TestListView6.exe sample shows exactly the same behaviour. If you select an item and click the “Info” button, the summary of the properties shows “Selected = False”. I’d appreciate any help or advice you can offer.

The call to get the state of the item was not actually asking if the LVIS_SELECTED state was set. Fixed. Same problem occurred with the ItemCut method.
