did you try Details view? i think only at that view mode the items are inserted vertically, line by line

I tried the Details view, and now all the items are verticaly inserted, but they are all trimmed, only the first characters are displayed for each word, wit three dots at the end! – Hassan Mokdad Aug 05 '11 at 06:43

2You just need to set the width of the column. Apparently -1 will set it to auto size to the widest item in the column...I did not know that ;-) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1257500/c-listview-column-width-auto – IanR Aug 05 '11 at 08:26

Thanks NirMH and LandR, it worked perfectly, just one more thing, is there a way to make the long items wrap to a new line, instead of showing a horizontal scroll bar, Thanks – Hassan Mokdad Aug 06 '11 at 06:30

@Hassan: i'm not sure, the details view works like windows explorer, therefore if you don't wrap it yourself (calc the length of each string and chop it into two or more lines), the control supports endless horizontal bar – NirMH Aug 07 '11 at 05:30

I need to insert icons next to each item, so I think a ListBox won't do – Hassan Mokdad Aug 05 '11 at 06:20

Ah - I'd probably stick with NirMH's suggestion of the Details view then. You can set HeaderStyle to None if you don't want the column headers. – IanR Aug 05 '11 at 08:21
