67biscuits Member Mar 8, 2025 #1 I am looking for a tutorial specific to the ListView1 control. Not any other type of list viewing device. I am cutting my teeth in this arena and want to learn all the basics. Thanks

67biscuits Member Mar 9, 2025 #7 Thanks all, feeling fully ridiculed now. I did manage to suss it out for myself in the end by using the IDE context info. And yes, I fully understand it's limitations and all the reasons for not wanting to use it. But for my purposes to display list contents without a convoluted setup, I now understand arrays and lists far better than I did two days ago. Now, I am ready to dig deeper into CustomListView.
