How can i create tabs in listView not in designer but in runtime code?

In the constructor:

lvnf = new ListViewNF();
lvnf.Location = new Point(250, 18);
lvnf.Size = new Size(474, 168);

this.Controls.Add(lvnf);

After setting the size i want to add columns like: From Subject Date

And how do i set the listView control(lvnf) to display added items as list ? This is how i'm adding the items in progressChanged event:

private void backgroundWorker1_ProgressChanged(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            pbt.Value = e.ProgressPercentage;
            pbt.Text = e.ProgressPercentage.ToString() + "%";
            pbt.Invalidate();
            label8.Text = e.UserState.ToString();
            label8.Visible = true;
            lvnf.Items.Add(new ListViewItem(new string[]
            {
              allMessages[countMsg].Headers.From.ToString(),         //From Column
              allMessages[countMsg].Headers.Subject,                 //Subject Column
              allMessages[countMsg].Headers.DateSent.ToString()      //Date Column
            }));


            countMsg += 1;
        }

You can add columns to ListView by adding it to the Columns property:

lvnf.Columns.Add("From");
lvnf.Columns.Add("Subject");
lvnf.Columns.Add("Date");

And to display items as a list:

lvnf.View = View.List;

But if you use this view, column headers will be hidden.

You can use the ListView to get columns with headers. One of the properties is the View, and you set it to Details, I think. Then you add columns

listView1.Columns.Add("Column1",100); // 100 is the column width
listView1.Columns.Add("Column2",200);

and so on for each column.

To add an item,

listView1.Items.Add("First item");

Then to add the subitems (in the columns) for the ith them

listView1.Items[i].SubItems.Add("Subitem1");

For the first item, this would be

listView1.Items[0].SubItems.Add("Subitem1");

Hope this helps.
