Subject: ListViews...

Question
Perhaps I'm using the wrong approach but I'd like to take string values from multiple text boxes and organize those values across a listview. The textbox values will be put nicely across columns and each time an add button is pressed, it puts those values on a new row across the columns. The textboxes are on another form but I've used a module to make variables public etc. and got the values to display in the listview on a single column. I just need the values to go across multiple columns now. Any basic coding would help me out for this. I've searched many places but nothing has helped me. Thanks! (I know it's general, but I just need some basics)

Answer
1. Set ListView Control's View Property to Details
2. Add Columns to the ListView Control
3. Use the following code e.g. for 3 column Listview:
       Dim tmpItem As New ListViewItem
       tmpItem.Text = "Column1"
       tmpItem.SubItems.Add("Column2")
       tmpItem.SubItems.Add("Column3")
       lstItems.Items.Add(tmpItem)
