    <p>I have a legacy application developed in VBA/Excel which uses ListView controls. Unfortunately, it looks like <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee691831.aspx" rel="noreferrer">these controls can't be used with 64-bit versions of Excel</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Native 64-bit processes in Office 2010 cannot load 32-bit binaries. This includes the common controls of MSComCtl [such as ListViews]. <strong>An alternative must be found for existing Microsoft Office VBA solutions that utilize these controls when the code is migrated to 64-bit Office 2010.</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>I need to migrate that legacy application to Excel 2010/13 x64. The process is mostly painless except for those <code>ListView</code> controls.</p> <p><strong>What are my main options to replace the <code>ListView</code> control and which would be the most effective (from a time&amp;difficulty to implement perspective)?</strong></p> <p>Notes:</p> <ul> <li>This issue has been raised on <a href="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/excel/thread/2e4d01a1-5f56-415d-9e2d-b3bef8e5f08d" rel="noreferrer">MS forums</a> but no practical answer has been given.</li> <li>adding <code>.net</code> tag as I suspect some solutions could come from there.</li> </ul> <hr> <p>To make it clearer, here is a snapshot of the Excel user form. The bottom part is the list view (I have hidden confidential information), which has sortable column, allows the user to select multiple, non-consecutive, lines.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/DX4Qb.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

    1. COWhich ListView capabilities are you using? Column headers? Groups? How far would an owner-drawn ListBox get you instead?

    3. COAre the ListViews in UserForms or directly in the worksheets? If the latter, what about using Excel tables (i.e. `ListObjects`) - and add some individual behavior with events (e.g. to multi-select rows, sort columns)?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
