Images into ListView Checkboxes

[Jon-Huhn]

Use the .StateImageList property instead of the .ImageList, and also make sure that .CheckBoxes is set to true for the listview.

Using this procedure, you've essentially replaced the checkbox grapics with your own custom set. The first image in the list (index 0) is used for the unchecked state, and the second image (index 1) is used for the checked state.

The switching between the two states when you click on the icon is handled automatically by DotNet (in other words, clicking on the icon will toggle not only the graphic that's displayed, but also the .checked value of the item).

Now, if you wanted to use more than two states (ie. use more than the first two indices in the image list), you would add additional images to the image list, set the .Checkboxes property to false, and then do your own manual checking during mouse events to see if it was the graphic that was clicked, and if so, change the state. But if all you want to do is change the checkboxes to a custom two-state graphics set, you can just skip this paragraph. :)

Thanks John,

That is really fantastic, and works like a charm. This Dot Net stuff is very very very slowly starting to make sense, but it is slow going. Great to have something vaguely respectable implemented though! ;)

Thanks for your time mate,

Rich
