Examples

Here is how to declare a ListView in UIXML:

<ListView Name="listView" View="Details" Margin="8" SelectionChanged="ListView_SelectionChanged"/>

And the corresponding event handler in the code-behind:

private void ListView_SelectionChanged(object? sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Application.Log($"ListView: SelectionChanged. SelectedIndex: {listView.SelectedIndex}");
}

Also, a ListView can be created from code:

var ListView = new Alternet.UI.ListView();
ListView.Items.Add(new Alternet.UI.ListViewItem { Text = "Item1"});
ListView.Items.Add(new Alternet.UI.ListViewItem { Text = "Item2" });
ListView.Items.Add(new Alternet.UI.ListViewItem { Text = "Item2" });
ListView.SelectedIndex = 1;

Remarks

A ListView control allows you to display a list of items with item text and, optionally, an icon to identify the type of item. The ListViewItem class represents an item within a ListView control. The items that are displayed in the list can be shown in one of several different views. Items can be displayed as large icons, as small icons, or as small icons in a vertical list. Items can also be subdivided into columns in the Details view, which allows you to display the items in a grid with column headers. ListView supports single or multiple selection.

Examples of how a ListView can look on different platforms:

A ListView, like any other Control, can be disabled by setting its Enabled property to false.
