listview tile layout problem (vb.net)

I have a listview which displays (eventually) an album cover of an itunes play list with the album name under it. the problem I am having is that I cannot get the album art (currently a blank square) ABOVE the album name. It always is on the side... how do I do it? I've tried adding column headers and alsorts...

code to set up the listview

    Dim myImageList As ImageList

    albumList.View = View.Tile
    albumList.TileSize = New Size(120, 150)

    ' Initialize the item icons. 
    myImageList = New ImageList()

    myImageList.Images.Add(Image.FromFile("c:/test.jpg"))
    myImageList.ImageSize = New Size(80, 80)
    albumList.LargeImageList = myImageList

I then do a loop to display each album name which uses

        Dim item0 As New ListViewItem(New String() _
                {Albums(i).Name}, 0)

        albumList.Items.Add(item0)

the output is http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/mfacer/Screenshot2010-05-02at164815.png

but as i said, I want the album name under the orange开发者_如何学运维 box....

any ideas?? Thanks for any info!

That is the baked-in arrangement for tile view. If you want the labels underneath the images then you have to set View = LargeIcon. If that produces an undesirable spacing of images then you can P/Invoke SendMessage() to send the LVM_SETICONSPACING message. This worked well:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

class TileView : ListView {
  public TileView() {
    mSpacing = new Size(48, 48);
  }
  private Size mSpacing;
  public Size IconSpacing {
    get { return mSpacing; }
    set {
      mSpacing = value;
      updateSpacing();
    }
  }
  protected override void OnHandleCreated(EventArgs e) {
    base.OnHandleCreated(e);
    updateSpacing();
  }
  private void updateSpacing() {
    if (this.IsHandleCreated) {
      SendMessage(this.Handle, 0x1000 + 53, IntPtr.Zero, (IntPtr)((mSpacing.Height << 16) | mSpacing.Width));
    }
  }
  [DllImport("user32.dll")]
  private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg, IntPtr wp, IntPtr lp);
}

Change the new IconSpacing property in the designer to work well with the size of the images in your ImageList. You'll see the effect immediately.

Public Class TileView
  Inherits ListView

  Public Sub New()
    mSpacing = New Size(48, 48)
  End Sub

  Private mSpacing As Size

  Public Property IconSpacing As Size
    Get
      Return mSpacing
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As Size)
      mSpacing = value
      updateSpacing()
    End Set
  End Property

  Protected Overrides Sub OnHandleCreated(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    MyBase.OnHandleCreated(e)
    updateSpacing()
  End Sub

  Private Sub updateSpacing()
    If Me.IsHandleCreated Then
      SendMessageW(Me.Handle, &H1000 + 53, IntPtr.Zero, CType((mSpacing.Height << 16) Or mSpacing.Width, IntPtr))
    End If
  End Sub

  Private Declare Function SendMessageW Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal msg As Integer, ByVal wp As IntPtr, ByVal lp As IntPtr) As IntPtr
End Class
