Description

TCustomListView is the base class for TListView. It provides a multi-platform implementation of the List View control from the Windows API. TCustomListView allows a collection of items to be displayed using different view styles. For instance:

Icon View
Each list item has an large icon with a caption.
Small Icon View
Each list item has a small icon with a caption.
List View
Each list item has a small icon with a caption, and is displayed in a single column in the control.
Report View
Each list item is displayed on a single line, with sub-items displayed as additional columns. The first column has a small icon and a caption. Other columns contain the text for the sub-items.
Remark: TCustomListView does not implement some features available for Windows version 6 or higher, including: the Tile View style, List View Item Grouping, and List View Work Areas.
