18 listview

The listview (class name dmw_listview) is an advanced list object that supports various display types. The object is known in principle by the Windows Explorer, where it is used to display the directories of the file system.

The following figures show the different display types of the listview object:

1. The icon view displays large icons along with a caption. The first content column is used as the caption.

2. The small icon view is very similar to the icon view, the only difference is that small icons are used.

3. The list view also uses the small icons and the caption, but the items are arranged in a list from top to bottom. If necessary, additional columns are added.
