Icon in ListView column heading?

Is there ANY way to put an icon/picture in a listview's column heading? I
must say I am disappointed with Microsoft's conversion of the ListView
control to .NET. With the old VB6 one, I was able to sort easily and to put
images into the column heading (i.e. putting an up/down arrow to indicate
the column is sorted). There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this in
..NET.

Any advice?

There is no "easy" way, but here is a code written in C# which does what
you want to do:

Herfried: Hmm.... This is something to look at. Unfortunately, I really need
this in VB rather than C#. I can try to convert it at a later time, I just
don't have the time right now. But thanks for pointing me in the right
direction - at least I know it can be done.

Seems odd that MS didn't include this in the normal ListView - they took
away features from the .NET listview rather than adding thme, I think.

ACK. Some new features will be added in .NET 2.0.
