I was wondering... I have a WinForms System.Windows.Forms.ListView with a bunch of ListViewItems that I'm drawing using the View.List style. Each ListViewItem has a "SmallIcon" that I fetch from the ListView's SmallImageList.
My problem is that the icons are showing too close to the border on the left. I've tried to change the bounds and the ListViewItem's Position property to no avail.
Is there anyway to have some kind of offset to ListViewItems?
The Win32 listview control doesn't have any setting to increase the space between the icon and the label (in any view, not just List). Setting ListViewItem.Position does nothing when the ListView is in List view.
A low-tech solution would be to simply prefix every ListViewItem's Text value with a single space. Slightly ugly, but oh so easy to do.
If you really want to have pixel level control, you will have to owner draw it. As always, if you are doing anything with a .NET ListView, ObjectListView makes owner drawing your items trivial.
