As far as i know, no. Changing BorderStyle affects only on container. If you would like to change BorderStyle to the buttons, you have to create custom NumericUpDown control. See: [Creating a NumericUpDown control from scratch](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/509824/Creating-a-NumericUpDown-control-from-scratch) [Extended NumericUpDown Control](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/30899/Extended-NumericUpDown-Control) [NumericUpDown Custom Control with Theme and UI Automation Support Sample](https://technet.microsoft.com/pl-pl/library/ms771573(v=vs.90).aspx)

I can't comment in any detail on Word as I avoid it as much as I can; I do know Word creates pretty complex output files (whether RTF or HTML), and behaves differently from one version to the next. FWIW: there are other RTF-compatible programs, such as WordPad++. They might offer the functionality you require without having the complexities and cost of Word. :) Luc Pattyn [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum

Hi Yes, I have searched this topic with google. But I have not found usable solution. If You check those google results and if You find something useful, could You then send notification :) jtpaa

when a list is virtual, it can't sort as it does not hold all the data; sorting means either the list is not virtual, or you do the sorting, the list does the displaying. You can do sorting by including that in the SQL statement; see the ORDER BY clause. If you can and are willing to keep the data all in memory (and suffer a potential startup delay), there is no need for virtual mode. If not, you need to add something clever; using virtual mode would be a part of that; caching could also be; keeping one or two entire columns (for sorting) is also conceivable. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] I only read formatted code with indentation, so please use PRE tags for code snippets. I'm not participating in frackin' Q&A, so if you want my opinion, ask away in a real forum (or on my profile page).

Maybe if you block some columns to resize. This is my code to block them standard all with property to release some Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices Namespace Controls Public Class ListView_FixColumns Inherits ListView Private _KolommenVrij(1024) As Boolean Public Const WM\_NOTIFY As Integer = &H4E Public Const HDN\_FIRST As Integer = 0 - 300 Public Const HDN\_BEGINTRACKA As Integer = HDN\_FIRST - 6 Public Const HDN\_BEGINTRACKW As Integer = HDN\_FIRST - 26 <StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> Public Structure NMHDR Public hwndFrom As IntPtr Public idFrom As Integer Public code As Integer End Structure Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message) If m.Msg = WM\_NOTIFY Then Dim hdr As NMHDR = CType(m.GetLParam(GetType(NMHDR)), NMHDR) If hdr.code = HDN\_BEGINTRACKA OrElse hdr.code = HDN\_BEGINTRACKW OrElse hdr.code = HDN\_DIVIDERDBLCLICKW Then Dim nmHeader As NMHEADER = CType(m.GetLParam(GetType(NMHEADER)), NMHEADER) If Not \_FreeColumns(nmHeader.iItem) Then m.Result = New IntPtr(1) Exit Sub End If End If End If MyBase.WndProc(m) End Sub Public Property AllowColumnResize(ByVal Column As Integer) As Boolean Get Return \_KolommenVrij(Column) End Get Set(ByVal value As Boolean) \_KolommenVrij(Column) = value End Set End Property End Class End Namespace If you add a property to select witch columns may not be blocked it will do
