Listview Check box header

[flashkid10]

I currently have a listview that contain 5 columns and atextbox that helps search though the data stored. the search function isworking, but I want to link it to five bools (one for each column) so that Ican search though it faster. how do I attach a checkbox to just the columnheaders (and still see the header name) and handle the event?

Use OwnerDraw with default for DrawItem/DrawSubItem and custom for DrawColumnHeader, where you can use CheckBoxRenderer.DrawCheckBox.
Here you will find examples Listview Checkbox header - Google-search
This is first result I get, with an easy to understand example posted: How to Add a Checkbox to a List View Column Header in c# Winform App? - Stack Overflow
The example there for DrawCheckBox doesn't include column text, but you can use this overload to also draw the text.

Sorry it took so long to respond, yeah that work, but is there a way to change the checkstatus to true? also, is there a way toremove the outline arounf the text?

is there a way to change the checkstatus to true?

In code that is as simple as setting the columns Tag property to True, and Refresh the control, it will then draw the new value.

remove the outline arounf the text?

You have most likely set focused parameter (of DrawCheckBox call) to True, set it to False.
