Hello-
I am rather new to Access. I recently downloaded some sample code for a
database and found that the activex control MSComctlLib.ListViewCtrl.2
is used.

Specifically I am wondering what this control does that it is superior
to the regular access listbox. Can someone explain what it does or
where to get info about it?

In general, what is the best way to go about learning a new control and
what it can do?

Thanks,
Elie.

There are a number of different views possible with the ListView. If you
look at Windows Explorer, the right-hand frame is a ListView, with the Icons
view, the List view and the Details view all being possible with a ListView.
However, it's unbound: you need to explicitly add all of the records of
interest to it, and you can't just make changes and expect them to be
reflected in the database.

Take a look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cmctl198/html/vbobjlistview.asp (and
when you get there, note the other controls that are listed in the left-hand
side)

Another great source for information about the ListView controls (and a few
other Common Controls) is Randy Birch's VBNet site, starting at
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/comctl/index.html

(Obligatory warning: Randy's site is aimed at VB programmers. Due to
significant differences between the standard controls available in VB forms
vs. those available in Access forms, not all of the examples port seamlessly
to Access. You should be okay for most of the ListView stuff though, I
think...)
