Is it just me, or is the support for owner-draw (or "virtual") controls really limited in this release of WinForms? The only references I could find for the DrawMode enum which is apparently used to indicate owner-draw are in the ListBox, CheckedListBox and ComboBox controls.
I wanted to build an image thumbnail preview app to force myself to learn the VB.NET language syntax, but I'm running into more issues with the library than with the language ;) The way I would have done this in Win32 would have been to create a virtual ListView control. However, this doesn't seem to be exposed in the current library. In the good old days, I ran into similar limitations with the VCL library in Delphi. I added support for virtual ListView / TreeView controls by hacking my way into the library (the extensibility points in the framework didn't let me add this functionality cleanly via derivation). Has anyone else gone down this path already?
