I'm trying to create some test programs, just for fun to learn c#, and I came to something I really couldn't figure out.
I wanted to add an image to an item in a listview. I found an article on Stackoverflow explaining how to do this, and it worked. However, I cannot add extra text to the item. I'd like to have an image with text next to it. My current code:
ImageList Imagelist = new ImageList();
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//retrieve all image files
String[] ImageFiles = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\test");
foreach (var file in ImageFiles)
{
//Add images to Imagelist
Imagelist.Images.Add(Image.FromFile(file));
}
//set the amall and large ImageList properties of listview
listView1.LargeImageList = Imagelist;
listView1.SmallImageList = Imagelist;
listView1.Items.Add(new ListViewItem() { ImageIndex = 0});
}
Obviously it will only add one image, it's meant to. Anyway, how would I enter text next to the image? For example
listView1.Items.Add(new ListViewItem() { ImageIndex = 0} "Image 1");
The text must be located behind the image.
I've also got a second question. I do not have columns (adding them doesn't do the trick either). I would like to have the item aligned to the left side of the ListView. How could I do this?
Thank you!
This should solve your problems.
listView1.View = View.Details; // Enables Details view so you can see columns
listView1.Items.Add(new ListViewItem { ImageIndex = 0, Text = "Image 1" }); // Using object initializer to add the text
