Checkbox on 3rd Column of Listview

I want to display a listview with the check box being displayed in the 3rd column.
eg

Name         Age     Close
-------     -----   ---------
Mary         28      [] (<- this being the checkbox)

At the moment I can only seem to get the checkbox value in the first column
Here is the code I have at the moment:
Dim itmAdd As ListItem
lvwList.View = lvwReport
lvwList.Checkboxes = True
lvwList.ColumnHeaders.add , , "Namw", lvwList.Width / 3
lvwList.ColumnHeaders.add , , "Age", lvwList.Width / 3
lvwList.ColumnHeaders.add , , "Close", lvwList.Width / 3
Set itmAdd = lvwList.ListItems.add(, , "Mary")
itmAdd.SubItems(1) = "28"

Any suggestions???

I think that is the default property of the Listbox, ie Style=1 Checkbox which makes the checkbox to the extreme left and not in any columns

maybe you can try a workaround...

sorry it should be ListView

The default property of the ListView, ie checkbox=true which makes the checkbox to the extreme left.

Also i think you might be wanting to read those values which are checked by the user, why not at run time, read those elements who's checkbox is checked.

hope this helps!

I don't think you are going to be able to have a checkbox in a subitem.

Alternatively you could use the itemclick event and just change 'Close' to true or false or yes or no when the item is clicked...

Private Sub lvwList_ItemClick(ByVal Item As MSComctlLib.ListItem)
   
    If Item.SubItems(2) = "Yes" Then
        Item.SubItems(2) = "No"
    Else
        Item.SubItems(2) = "Yes"
    End If
   
End Sub

Once the user is finished choosing iterate through the list checking to see which are "Yes" and which are "No" and do what you want to with them.
