[c# winform] ListView MultiColumn, Icon and ToolTip

[piercy]

Hi, ive been trying to produce something using a listview control which shows error messages for the emails sent from my application. Its a wierd concept so im going to try explain it best i can. I want to be able to have 3 items across the listbox each with a icon and a tooltip. Something similar to the below.. Item 1 has a icon next to it and when i hover over it i get a tooltip displaying the error message. Then the same again for items 2,3,4 etc.etc.

|  Item 1 | Item 2 | Item 3 |
|  Item 4 | Item 5 | Item 6 |

Heres the code i have at the moment which only does single column.

foreach (DataRow row in ds1.Tables["Receipitants"].Rows)
            {
                if (row.ItemArray[1].ToString() != null)
                {
                    if (row.ItemArray[1].ToString().Length > 0)
                    {
                        ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(row.ItemArray[3].ToString() + " (" + row.ItemArray[1].ToString() + ")");
                        lvi.ToolTipText = row.ItemArray[4].ToString();
                        lvi.ImageIndex = 0;
                        listView1.Items.Add(lvi);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(row.ItemArray[3].ToString());
                        lvi.ToolTipText = row.ItemArray[4].ToString();
                        lvi.ImageIndex = 1;
                        listView1.Items.Add(lvi);
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(row.ItemArray[3].ToString());
                    lvi.ToolTipText = row.ItemArray[4].ToString();
                    lvi.ImageIndex = 1;
                    listView1.Items.Add(lvi);
                }
            }

row.ItemArray[0] = ID;
"" "" [1] = email address
"" "" [4] = Error Message

Anyone know how i may go about producing what i need. I'm hoping theres an option im missing. I tried using 3 columns with sub items but subitems dont allow icons or tooltips.


Many Thanks,

After playing some more i manged to use the tile view to display how i need. However, Ive got a wierd problem where the icons sometims display and some times dont. There does not seem to be any pattern to them not loading. Ive tried starting the program waiting fopr 5 mins then opening the form (onclick of button). Ive tried rushing through and seeing if it makes a difference but i still can work it out. It seems completly random, i saw a post where some one else experienced the same problem but there were no replys. Any one seen this? Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Many Thanks,

ps. i didnt think it was necersery to create a new thread for this.. altho i will if need be.
