ListItem Object, ListItems Collection

A ListItem consists of text, the index of an associated icon (ListImage object), and, in Report view, an array of strings representing subitems.
A ListItems collection contains one or more ListItem objects.

Syntax

listview.ListItems

listview.ListItems(index)

The syntax lines above refer to the collection and to individual elements in the collection, respectively, according to the standard collection syntax.

The ListItem object, ListItems collection syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
listview	An object expression that evaluates to a ListView control.
index	Either an integer or string that uniquely identifies a member of a ListItem collection. The integer is the value of the Index property; the string is the value of the Key property.

Remarks

ListItem objects can contain both text and pictures. However, to use pictures, you must reference an ImageList control using the Icons and SmallIcons properties.

You can also change the image by using the Icon or SmallIcon property.

The following example shows how to add ColumnHeaders and several ListItem objects with subitems to a ListView control.

Private Sub Form_Load()
   Dim clmX As ColumnHeader
   Dim itmX As ListItem
   Dim i As Integer

   For i = 1 To 3
      Set clmX = ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add()
      clmX.Text = "Col" & i
   Next i
   
   ' Add 10 items to list, all with the same icon

   For i = 1 To 10
      Set itmX = ListView1.ListItems.Add()
      itmX.SmallIcon = 1
      itmX.Text = "ListItem " & i
      itmX.SubItems(1) = "Subitem 1"
      itmX.SubItems(2) = "Subitem 2"
   Next i
End Sub
