I have a ListView in VB.Net. I want to use it to display a table of data. However I want to be able to click on a row and select it. The component allows me to select a row only by clicking on the first item of each row.

  • Can I change that?
  • Is there a better component to display tables? (I've already tried the DataGridView. I don't like it's appearance)

This should simply be a matter of setting FullRowSelect on the control to be True.
