Below if the code I used to populate a ListView:

C#

foreach (DataRow dr in dt_Updated.Rows) {
    ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(dr[eGisId].ToString());
    listViewID.Items.Add(lvi);
}
listViewID.Items[0].Selected = listViewID.Items[0].Focused = true;
listViewID.View = System.Windows.Forms.View.List;

However, the data are populated on multiple columns if there are many. I want the data are populated only in one column, and meanwhile make the vertical scrollbar displayed.
Referring to How to Set the property of vertical ScrollBar to Ultralistview control - Windows Forms - WinListView[^] in which the user use

C#

"myList".ViewSettingsList.MultiColumn = false;

Unfortunately, for the ListView control, I could not find its ViewSettingsList property.
What's the proper way to do it? I wish someone can provide his/her answer.
Besides, after the data displays, I want to the 1st item is highlighted with the default background color.

C#

listViewID.Items[0].Selected = true;

But currently, the selected item displays like to be not highlighted. What I should do on this?
Thanks if you can help.

Solution 2

Problem solved by referring to c# - Making List view scroll in vertical direction - Stack Overflow[^]. Namely, I added the following code:

C#

// Add a dummy column           
ColumnHeader header = new ColumnHeader();
header.Text = "";
header.Name = "col1";
listViewID.Columns.Add(header);
// Then
            listViewID.Scrollable = true;
            listViewID.View = System.Windows.Forms.View.Details;

Thanks for your view.

If you're talking about WinForm ListView[^]...

C#

//add single column
//-2 => autosize
listViewID.Columns.Add("MyColumn", -2, HorizontalAlignment.Left);
listViewID.FullRowSelect = true;
listViewID.GridLines = true;
listViewID.View = System.Windows.Forms.View.List;
//load data
foreach (DataRow dr in dt_Updated.Rows) {
    ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(dr[eGisId].ToString());
    listViewID.Items.Add(lvi);
}
//move focus to listview first
listViewID.Focus();
listViewID.Items[0].Selected = true;
