1. RE: ListView question?
Dan,
I don't think you can do this with a list view (with the exception of
having a check box in the first column).
I would suggest taking a look at the latest release of Phil Russel's
grid control, where you can define a column as a checkbox column.

2. RE: ListView question?
Hello there Dan,
Another idea would be to create several rows of check boxes
and several rows of text.
Have a single vert scroll bar control all the rows of text
such that they scroll one full row at a time.
You dont really have to scroll the check boxes.
As each line changes, the associated check boxes apply to
the different rows that scroll into view, so you have to keep track
of the top row.
Shouldnt be too hard really, and depending on how you draw the
check boxes it might appear to be one complete page rather then
several columns.
Now that i think about it, maybe you could change the text associated
with each check box and have the 'static' text change with the
scroll action.
In this way you would be using only check box controls and a scroll
bar control.
You'd still have to keep track of the top row, but i bet it
would be fairly easy to do.
Take care,
Al
3. RE: ListView question?
Hello again Dan,
Ok sure, it does sound interesting!
When you say "pretty" i assume you are talking about some
graphical aspect of the screen. Do you think you could
describe this to some degree to give us an idea what it
looks like without having to actually try it out ourselves?
Take care,
Al
