Module: ListView in Category ActiveX Controls : Common Controls from Total Visual SourceBook

Routines to extend the functionality of the VB6 ListView control.

The majority of the ListView enhancements are provided in the CListViewEnh class. This module contains a standalone procedure to load a DAO recordset into a ListView control.
Note: This code is not supported in the 64-bit version of Access 2010 or 2013 due to the use of the Common Controls of MSComCtl32.ocx.

Procedure List

Procedure Name	Type	Description
(Declarations)	Declarations	Declarations and private variables for the modListView module.
ADORecordSetToListView	Procedure	Loads the contents of an ADO recordset in a standard unbound listview control from left to right until it runs out of available columns in the ListView control. If you want to see the columns in a different order, select them in the desired order from the query that creates the recordset.
RecordSetToListView	Procedure	Loads the contents of a DAO recordset in a standard unbound listview control from left to right until it runs out of available columns in the ListView control. If you want to see the columns in a different order, select them in the desired order from the query that creates the recordset.

Example Code for Using Module: ListView

' Example of modListView
' This example assumes Access VBA as the host language

' 1. Create a new form
' 2. Add a ListView control called 'lvwProducts'
'    Set the following properties
'    View            3 - lvwReport
'    ColumnHeaders - Insert 4 column headers
' 3. Add a CommandButton control called 'cmdDAO'
' 4. Add a CommandButton control called 'cmdADO'
' 5. Paste all the code from this example to the new form's module.
' 6. Run the form to load the listview control

' This example assumes that the sample files are located in the folder named by the following constant.
Private Const mcstrSamplePath As String = "C:\TVSBSamp"
Private Const mcstrConnect As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & mcstrSamplePath & "\sample.mdb"

Private Sub Form_Load()
  cmdADO.Caption = "Load with ADO"
  cmdDAO.Caption = "Load with DAO"

End Sub

Private Sub cmdDAO_Click()

  Dim dbs As DAO.Database
  Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
  Dim strSQL As String

  strSQL = "SELECT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Categories.CategoryName, Suppliers.CompanyName, Suppliers.ContactName " & _
           "FROM Suppliers " & _
           "INNER JOIN (Categories " & _
           "INNER JOIN Products " & _
           "ON Categories.CategoryID = Products.CategoryID) " & _
           "ON Suppliers.SupplierID = Products.SupplierID"

  Set dbs = DAO.DBEngine(0).OpenDatabase(mcstrSamplePath & "\sample.mdb")

  Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot)

  Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass

  ' Example of RecordSetToListView
  ' Load the recordset into the listview, using the value in the ProductID column as they listitem key,
  ' and the value in the Subject column as the 'tag' property of the listitem
  RecordSetToListView rst, lvwProducts.Object, "ProductID", "ProductName"

  Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault

End Sub

Private Sub cmdADO_Click()
  Dim rstProducts As ADODB.Recordset
  Dim strSQL As String

  strSQL = "SELECT Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Categories.CategoryName, Suppliers.CompanyName " & _
    "FROM Suppliers " & _
    "INNER JOIN (Categories INNER JOIN Products " & _
    "ON Categories.CategoryID = Products.CategoryID) " & _
    "ON Suppliers.SupplierID = Products.SupplierID " & _
    "ORDER BY Products.ProductName "

  Set rstProducts = New ADODB.Recordset
  rstProducts.Open strSQL, mcstrConnect

  ' Example of ADORecordSetToListView
  ' Load the recordset into the listview, using the value in the ProductID column as they listitem key.
  ADORecordSetToListView rstProducts, lvwProducts.Object, "ProductID"

End Sub
