Drawing an Image to a subItem in the ListView

c#, listview, winforms

Solution

In `listView1_DrawColumnHeader` and `listView1_DrawItem` event handlers you should put this

e.DrawDefault = true;

It will use default drawing implementation for columns and items, all you have to do is write your own implementation only for subitems.

Problem

My Listview is setup in the details view with the following column headers: Image Name || Image Location || Image Size || Image Preview I would like to know if there is a way to draw an image in the 4th column there. The only way I know, is to set ``` this.listview1.OwnerDraw = true this.listView1.DrawColumnHeader += new System.Windows.Forms.DrawListViewColumnHeaderEventHandler(listView1_DrawColumnHeader); this.listView1.DrawItem += new System.Windows.Forms.DrawListViewItemEventHandler(listView1_DrawItem); this.listView1.DrawSubItem += new System.Windows.Forms.DrawListViewSubItemEventHandler(listView1_DrawSubItem); ``` The problem with this is I have to handle ALL the listview drawing myself... I was wondering if there is a better way to draw in image to a subItem, or if there is a way to only handle the DrawSubItem event?
