private ListView hotTrackinglistView = new ListView();
private void InitializeHotTrackingListView(){
list.Images.Add(new Bitmap(typeof(Button), "Button.bmp"));
hotTrackinglistView.SmallImageList = list;
hotTrackinglistView.Location = new Point(20, 20);
hotTrackinglistView.View = View.SmallIcon;
ListViewItem listItem1 = new ListViewItem("Short", 0 );
ListViewItem listItem2 = new ListViewItem("Tiny", 0);
hotTrackinglistView.Items.Add(listItem1);
hotTrackinglistView.Items.Add(listItem2);
hotTrackinglistView.HotTracking = true;
this.Controls.Add(hotTrackinglistView);
}
Private list As New ImageList()
Private hotTrackinglistView As New ListView()
Private Sub InitializeHotTrackingListView()
list.Images.Add(New Bitmap(GetType(Button), "Button.bmp"))
hotTrackinglistView.SmallImageList = list
hotTrackinglistView.Location = New Point(20, 20)
hotTrackinglistView.View = View.SmallIcon
Dim listItem1 As New ListViewItem("Short", 0)
Dim listItem2 As New ListViewItem("Tiny", 0)
hotTrackinglistView.Items.Add(listItem1)
hotTrackinglistView.Items.Add(listItem2)
hotTrackinglistView.HotTracking = True
Me.Controls.Add(hotTrackinglistView)
End Sub
Remarks
Enabling hot tracking will cause the Activation property to be set to OneClick and the HoverSelection property to be set to true. In addition, run-time label editing is not allowed when hot tracking is enabled.
