Q. How do I use a list view (multi column table) in a non-Visual
Studio Program?
A. In the .rc (resource) file add this:
CONTROL "", IDC_MY_LISTVIEW, "SysListView32", LVS_REPORT | LVS_SINGLESEL | LVS_NOSORTHEADER | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER, 0, 0, 200, 100
Near the beginning of your program call:
InitCommonControls();
Create the columns:
hwndMyListView = GetDlgItem(hDlg, IDC_MY_LISTVIEW);
ListView_InsertColumn(hwndMyListView, ...);
Do other functions with the ListView_* macros.

Once you have it going you'll notice that you can only select the first
column. One solution is to add LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED to the .rc file and
write your own code to draw the row -- which is a bit of a pain.

Or, easier, you can not specify LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED and process
the NM_CUSTOMDRAW messages (which is sent in WM_NOTIFY).
