C# Listview With Link Labels

You don't have to go to custom controls. Listview by itself capable of doing that. Here is MSDN example ListView Web Server Control Overview.[^]

I found more than couple of things for you.

First of all I recommend this open source
ObjectListView[^] - Looks cool, excellent, nice, etc.,

CP articles
Embedding Controls in a ListView[^]
C# List View v1.3[^]
In-place editing of ListView subitems[^]
Extended ListView[^]
ContainerListView and TreeListView: Writing VS.NET design-surface compatible controls[^]

I've developed a quick solution using a custom method which prevents the need for using an open source solution. First create the listview as you usually would and add a item to the listview using ListViewItem including the custom method below the ListViewItem.

listView1.Columns.Add("Column 1", 50, HorizontalAlignment.Left);
listView1.Columns.Add("Column 2", 45, HorizontalAlignment.Left);
listView1.Columns.Add("Column 3", 45, HorizontalAlignment.Left);
listView1.MultiSelect = true;
listView1.FullRowSelect = false;
listView1.View = View.Details;
listView1.Activation = ItemActivation.OneClick;
listView1.LabelEdit = true;

ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem("Action");
lvi.SubItems.Add("Delete");
lvi.SubItems.Add("Copy");
lvi.UseItemStyleForSubItems = false;

// Custom Method
ChangeToUnderline(ref listView1, 0, Color.Blue);

Now the custom piece of code which will display the text as any colour you want with an underline.

private void ChangeToUnderline(ref ListView lv, int ColumnIndex, Color color)
{
    foreach (ListViewItem lvi in lv.Items)
    {
        lvi.SubItems[ColumnIndex].Font = new Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8, FontStyle.Underline);
        lvi.SubItems[ColumnIndex].ForeColor = color;
    }
}

If you want to create a cell which looks like a hyperlink quickly I'm recommend using this method, otherwise if you have time I'd recommend one of the open source solutions mentioned earlier in this post by thatraja.
