How can I have a new item appear on top in a ListView? 1

[skhoury]

Hello all,


does anyone know how to make a new item being added to a ListView show up at the top of the list, rather than the bottom?

Any leads are much appreciate.

Thanks!

Sam

lstMyList.Items.Insert(0, myString); should do it

in reality - you need to create an IComparer class and set listview1.ListViewItemSorter = yourIcomparerclass;

Look into IComparer and ListViewItemSorter. That should get you somewhere.

As an added note: when you set lstview1.ListViewItemSorter, make sure you set it to null first, and then to your comparer.

+1 for implementing IComparer.

IComparer might be overkill if all he's trying to do is insert at the top. But that's just me.

Neil - is there a more efficent/quicker way to do it other than using an IComparer?

 

[NeilTrain]

as litton1 pointed out, just insert with an index, such as this:

lstMyList.Items.Insert(0, myString);

That basically adds the new item as index zero, and bumps the rest down a notch.

You only need IComparer if you want to sort the whole list by a particular column

Doh - you're right.

And I just tried it and it works like a charm.

Fortunatly, I dont need any sorting (at the moment).

Thanks,

Sam
