SYMPTOMS

If the LabelWrap property of the ListView control is set to FALSE, then the width of the label is the correct width to hold the text of the ListView item. However, the height of the label for each item is the same height as calculated for the control if the LabelWrap property had been set TRUE. Consequently, unused space underneath the text makes the label for each item much larger than it needs to be.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be an issue in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. Microsoft is researching this issue and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

Start a new project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
Place a ListView control on the form.

Add the following code to the Load event of Form1:

   Private Sub Form_Load()
    ListView1.LabelWrap = False
    ListView1.ListItems.Add , , "This is an extremely very, very, very," _
    & "very long line of text"
   End Sub

Run the project by pressing the F5 key. Notice that the label is very wide and tall because the FALSE Wrap property causes the label to be on one line.
