Automatic layout and sorting samples in Better ListView.
Version 2.0 also improves groups, item hierarchy and multi-line items.
Better ListView is a replacement control for the regular .NET list view control. Better ListView has significantly more features and improved behavior. It is lightweight and always uses the system theme (including Aero support). It does not inherit from the regular list view control and is therefore very flexible. Better ListView has no dependencies and is easy to deploy (a single 80kB DLL when compressed). Better ListView is optimized for speed (100,000+ items) and includes drag & drop support, sorting, image support, checkboxes and more.
Updates in V2.0
- Groups - items can be organized in collapsible groups
- Item Hierarchy - items can be organized in a tree structure, can be also collapsed just like the nodes in a TreeView
- Multi-Line Items - item texts can break in several lines and each item can have different size
- Data Binding - complex data binding is fully supported, any List, DataTable, DataView, array or any other IList-type object can be bound to Better ListView as a data source
