I'll check whether having no icon to display has any undesirable side effect. If
it hasn't, then I'll probably add a custom LVS_EX_NOIMAGELIST style, so that no
image list is associated to the LV when the style is given to createEx().

Inn the meantime, you can always try to:
w32VOID=sendMessage(lv_id,LVM_SETIMAGELIST,LVSI_NORMAL,0)
w32VOID=sendMessage(lv_id,LVM_SETIMAGELIST,LVSI_SMALL,0)

However, I am not sure you can remove the white soace where the image would go,
since MSDN says the following about the LVS_REPORT style, which I waaume you are
using:
" The leftmost column is always left justified and contains the small icon and
label. Subsequent columns contain subitems as specified by the application. "
