C# listView, how do I add items to columns 2, 3 and 4 etc?

To add items to column 1 in my listView control (Winform) I'm using listView1.Items.Add, this works fine but how do I add items to columns 2 and 3 etc?

Solution 1:

There are several ways to do it, but here is one solution (for 4 columns).

string[] row1 = { "s1", "s2", "s3" };
listView1.Items.Add("Column1Text").SubItems.AddRange(row1);

And a more verbose way is here:

ListViewItem item1 = new ListViewItem("Something");
item1.SubItems.Add("SubItem1a");
item1.SubItems.Add("SubItem1b");
item1.SubItems.Add("SubItem1c");

ListViewItem item2 = new ListViewItem("Something2");
item2.SubItems.Add("SubItem2a");
item2.SubItems.Add("SubItem2b");
item2.SubItems.Add("SubItem2c");

ListViewItem item3 = new ListViewItem("Something3");
item3.SubItems.Add("SubItem3a");
item3.SubItems.Add("SubItem3b");
item3.SubItems.Add("SubItem3c");

ListView1.Items.AddRange(new ListViewItem[] {item1,item2,item3});

Solution 2:

You can add items / sub-items to the ListView like:

ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(new []{"1","2","3","4"});
listView1.Items.Add(item);

But I suspect your problem is with the View Type. Set it in the designer to Details or do the following in code:

listView1.View = View.Details;
