Listview help

I have a single column listview with checkboxes on a form (each item has only one column and the checkbox). I click a button to bring up a small version of the form showing the scrollable listview (showing about 20 items). There are about 1000 items in this listview total. If the user has to check alot of these items it gets confusing since the user has to scroll so much. I want the user to be able to maximize the form the listview is on and show as many of the items as possible at once. I can dock the listview and it shows a long list but this long list takes up a just the left portion of the form and shows maybe 150 items. Can I have the listview show multiple columns across the form so that instead on 150 checkboxed items on the left side, the form show 1000 checkboxed items starting on the top left portion of the maximized form and ending at the bottom right portion of the maximized form.

I hope I described this well enough.

Thanks
Joe
 
If you switch the view to "List" the row will wrap to the next column.
