Can anybody point me to any examples of reproducing the 'My Computer'
page in Explorer - it appears to be a ListView but has headings like
'Files Stored on This Computer', 'Hard Disk Drives' that span across
columns.

I am happy with using a ListView but cannot see how to get headers to
go across the columns.

Many thanks.
 
Hi Jeff,

Hi Jeff,

Sorry for letting you wait for so long.

After doing some internal consult, I was told that this behavior is only
supported in WinXP, and it is a new feature for ListView. We may send
LVM_ENABLEGROUPVIEW message to the listview to open enable the group view.
Then use LVM_INSERTGROUP to insert group into the listview.

For more information, please refer to the link below:

Many thanks, that is very useful and I even managed to convert it to C#
without breaking it :-)

Thank you for all your help over the past year, enjoy the break and
have a Happy New Year.
 
Hi Jeff,

Merry Christmas to you either!

I am glad what I found make sense to you. Additionally, this group header
function only works with COMCTL32 V6. Normally, we do not have COMCTL32 V6
installed on the machine. We have to use this version of COMCTL32 to get
the group view effect.

Again, hope you get a good holiday!!
