ListView not populatng

[kanchoette]

I have a main form 'customerForm' with a button which creates a child window 'customerPrintForm' containing a listView. So:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace DebtManagement
{
public partial class DiaryPrintForm : Form
{
private ListViewSortManager m_sortMgr;
private System.Windows.Forms.BindingManagerBase customerBinding;
private Font colorFont;
private int indexCounter = 0;
private customerForm customerForm;
private int customerIndex;

    public DiaryPrintForm(customerForm customerForm, int customerIndex)
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.customerForm = customerForm;
        this.customerIndex = customerIndex;
        customerDataSet.Merge(customerForm.customerDataSet);
        customerBinding = BindingContext\[customerDataSet, "customer"\];
        BindingContext\[customerDataSet, "customer"\].Position = customerIndex;
        PopulateDiaryListView();
    }

    private void DiaryPrintForm\_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        colorFont = new Font("Wingdings", 12f, GraphicsUnit.Point);
    }

    private void DiaryPrintForm\_Closed(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        colorFont = null;
    }

    private void PopulateDiaryListView()
    {
        DateTime date = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1);
        string fileToShow = "";
        diaryListView.Items.Clear();
        
        if (customerBinding.Count > 0)
        {
            foreach (customerDataSet.DiaryRow row in customerDataSet.customer.DefaultView\[customerBinding.Position\].Row.GetChildRows("customerDiary"))
            {
                if (row.RowState != DataRowState.Deleted)
                {
                    
                    customerDataSet.UsersRow user = row.UsersRowByUsersDiary;
                    ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();
                    if (row.IsFilenameNull() != true)
                    {
                        item.ImageIndex = 0;
                    }

                    if (row.DiaryActionID.ToString() == "33")
                    {
                        if (row.DiaryDate.CompareTo(date) == 1)
                        {

Well, I removed all colorFont references, together with the associated listView column, and this has not improved matters. I still have a 'blank' listView. This is driving me nuts!!:confused:

Hmm.. I dont see any : item.Text = "MyTitle"; or something like that. I see only SubItems.

[kanchoette]

Sorry, but I don't understand your reply. I'm using a) Create new listViewItem b) add subitems to listViewItem c) Add listViewItem to listview model. Which I use successfully elsewhere in my project. I am not sure what your 'item.Text = "MyTitle";' pertains to.

I think, if you add an item to listView, then you must also add a text to that item. If you don't add a text to that item, then it will shows nothing. ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(); item.Text = "ABC"; listView.Items.Add(item);
