Since it does not appear that the checkbox initial state can be conventionally changed, how about an unconventional approach to the problem???
How about drawing yourself 2 bitmaps. One that looks like a checked checkbox and one that looks like an unchecked checkbox. Then, define your ListView control without checkboxes but do assign an image list to the ListView containing your 2 checkbox bitmaps you just drew. Then in your program you can give the appearance of checkboxes being activated by displaying either the checked or non-checked image by each data row in the ListView. You can change the image(check state) by toggling the image within the ItemClick Event. Use the ItemInfo Method to determine which image is displayed and use the ChangeItem method to display the other image. Hope this isn't too cheesy for everyone !!!! Eric Hansen Dallas, TX USA
