I have trying to use a Listview control but nothing I have found seems to display the picture in the list.  Most of what I have found on the internet was written back in 2005.  If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

This code works as expected adding an item to the ListView then changing the image….

PS.
I find the as-you-type Auto-complete text is much more up to date with help than the wiki.
that's how i found the ListView Items Picture property.
Like you i found nothing on the wiki

Thanks Bruce.  I had to remove the icon/16/ to make it display the icon but really small.  I take it only uses icon files and not png icons. I will do some more experiments with it.

Here is what I did to the code:


<IMG src=""> </IMG>

I used Pinta image program to convert the png files to ico and to a size I wanted to try.  Once again thank your for your help.  It is greatly appreciated.

Code (gambas)

1.   ListView1.Add("i1", "First Item1", Picture["cabinet.ico"])
2.   ListView1.Add("i2", "Second Item2", Picture["Applauncher.ico"])
3.   ListView1["i1"].Selected = True

<IMG src=""> </IMG>

You're welcome
You should be able to use any image format that Picture.Load() supports with any path.

Using the path "icon:/" shows all the gambas png stock icons. (If you type icon:/ in the name field it will popup a list of all the size folders for required icon size)

you could do a quick resize to any desired fixed size using the Pictures Image property when loading it.

Picture["cabinet.ico"].Image.Stretch(32,32).Picture

Thanks again Bruce, that did the trick.
