This control supports several modes, or views, which include large icon, small icon, and report. Report view lists items, one per row, with any number of columns per row, and a column header at the top of each column.

One thing that can be annoying at times, however, is that, although the ListView control allows any number of columns, the user can only select ListView items by clicking in the left-most column.

You can overcome this by sending an LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE message to the ListView control. This message takes a bit mask of the styles you want to alter and the new value of those styles.

::SendMessage(ListCtrl.m_hWnd, LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE,
   LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT, LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT);
