You are probably familiar with the Microsoft® ListView control, which is used to display a collection of items in various different views. An example of the ListView control in action can be seen in Windows® Explorer in which files in the current directory are displayed. What you are probably not aware of, however, is that the intrinsic ListView control that ships with Visual Studio® is in actuality a wrapper around the same COM ListView control that was shipped with Visual Basic 6.0. The Infragistics WinListView™ control is a native .NET control, built from the ground up, with the same views as the native list view control:

  • Icons
  • Tiles
  • Thumbnails
  • List
  • Details

Features at a Glance

  • Visual Display - Support for Windows XP and Windows Vista® themes, as well as fine-grained control over which aspects of the control visually depict these themes. All visual aspects of the control are determined by the familiar Infragistics Appearance object model.
  • Editing Capability - Editing and rendering of item and sub-item values are handled by the familiar Infragistics embeddable editor architecture.
  • Item Selection - Select single or multiple items with the keyboard, mouse click, Shift-click (continuous range), Ctrl-click (noncontiguous range), and new click-drag of a “lasso” that selects all items it touches, introduced in 2009 Volume 1.
