POHow to reclaim image real estate in ListView?
text
Body
copied!<p>Env.: VS 2008, .NET 2.0, WinForms</p> <p>I have a listview in Tile mode. Some items have an associated image. Some don't.</p> <p>The contents (listview items) is often renewed when user clicks some controls. When this happens, it sometimes appears that none of the new items have images. In that case, I would like to get rid of the empty space on the left of items reserved for images. I tried the following pseudo-code to temporarily get rid of the image list</p> <pre><code>list.Items.Clear(); FillList(); list.LargeImageList= (none of the items has image) ? null : MyImageList; </code></pre> <p>But it doesn't work: The empty space is still there. I also try to repaint the control, to no avail.</p> <p><a href="http://apptranslator.com/_so/so_list1.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://apptranslator.com/_so/so_list1.jpg</a> <a href="http://apptranslator.com/_so/so_list2.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://apptranslator.com/_so/so_list2.jpg</a> <a href="http://apptranslator.com/_so/so_list3.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://apptranslator.com/_so/so_list3.jpg</a></p> <p>Left: list with images.</p> <p>Middle: List without images. Space for images is visible.</p> <p>Right: How I would like it to be when there's no images.</p> <p>EDIT: I also made this test: Don't assign the image list in the designer. If the first display doesn't contain any images, then I get the expected result. I then click to display images (I get them). I click again to come back to a no images selection: the image space doesn't disappear.</p> <p>Also, Hath, no I don't use small images or state images. Only large images.</p> <p>What can I do? TIA.</p>
