Urgent question: Listview with checkboxes / column width

Hi Experts,

I have a listview with checkboxes and one additional column holding text information. The column for the checkboxes is too small, the checkboxes appear too close to the text.

Is it possible to make the checkbox-column wider?

ListView1.ColumnHeader(1).Width=300

Clicked submit button to soon.

You can adjust column width in FormLoad event. Change 300 to whatever seems to work for you.

ListView1.ColumnHeader(2).Width=? would set width of the second column and so fort.

Hm,

the listview only has one column, and that contains the text data!?

Here's the code used to populate the list:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim li As ListItem

Set rs = gDB.getRecordset("select MyText from tblMyTable"

lv.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Text", 5000

Do While Not rs.EOF
Set li = lv.ListItems.Add()
li.Text = rs(0)
rs.MoveNext
Loop
End Sub

When I set a breakpoint at th do while... lv.columnheaders.count is 1

Thanks a lot, guys! I've split the point, because I used Noel's suggestion and Shauli gave a good explanation of what's actually going on - is that okay with you?
