Report. A small icon and a corresponding text label represent each ListItem object. You can provide additional information about each ListItem object in a subitem. The icons, text labels, and information appear in columns with the leftmost column containing the small icon, followed by the text label. Additional columns display the text for each of the item's subitems.

Remarks

In Icon view only, use the LabelWrap property to specify if the ListItem object's labels are wrapped.

In Report view, you can hide the column headers by setting the HideColumnHeaders property to True. You also can use the ColumnClick event and the Sorted, SortOrder, and SortKey properties to sort the ListItem objects or subitems when a user chooses a column header. The user can change the size of the column by selecting the right border of a column header and dragging it to the desired size.
