BUG: ListView in Report View Mode Truncates First ListItem

• Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows, 32-bit only, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When the View property of the ListView control is set to '2 - List', ListItem objects may have portions of their Text property truncated. This results in, for example, an entry of "Thi..." instead of "This is my text".

The following article details a somewhat similar problem with the Listview control in List mode (rather than Report Mode) and can be found in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   ARTICLE ID: Q149320:
   TITLE     : BUG: First ListItem Truncated with ListView in Report View

WORKAROUND

To fix this problem, set the column width of the ListView control before displaying the items. Knowledge Base article Q147666 explains how to set the width of columns in a ListView control in both List and Report modes.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be an issue in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Visual Basic 4.0. Form1 is created by default.

2. Add a single ListView control to the form.

3. Add this code to the form:

      Private Sub Form_Load()
         Dim lv As ListItem
   
         ListView1.View = lvwList
         Set lv = ListView1.ListItems.Add
         lv.Text = "This is a long text string"
      End Sub
   
   

4. Press F5 or select Start from the Run menu to run the application. Observe that the text of the ListItem is truncated.
