Setting a static ListView background image

Setting a static ListView background image

  Not yet. The closest I have come is Roger Lipscombe's page about using CustomDraw in a ListView. I emailed him, and he let me know that he had completed the program, but was no longer working at the company where he was, so he doesn't have access to it. He does have the beginning stages on the following page:

  Maybe somebody can finish it off, or if Roger gets enough interest, he might redo it for us.

  I'm trying to get a static, non scrolling background image into a ListView in C# 2.0. I posted about it in the Windows Forms forum here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/showpost.aspx postid=163999&siteid=1 and was told to ask over here. If anyone has any ideas as to how I could do it, I would appreciate it.

  I have exactly the same problem; did you find a solution yet

  Actually, that was what made me think that it was possible. If they can do it, why can't I But I've yet to find a good solution. I'm down to spending a week learning how to override the draw events, or purchasing an alternative. I'm looking in to the alternatives now, but everything I've seen is more biased towards data binding, and is far too complicated for what I want. A simple ListView with a background that doesn't scroll.

  I think that there must be an easier way, if you go to your "My Music" folder; you will notice that the "music note" picture does what we want.

  Maybe windows has a hidden feature for this
