# WinForms ListView Custom Drawing Example
This repository demonstrates how to implement custom drawing for items in a Windows Forms ListView control.
## Overview
In many applications, the default rendering of ListView items may not be sufficient—especially when displaying rich content like:
* Multiple lines of text
* Icons or images
* Custom layouts for better readability
This example shows how to override the default drawing behavior to create visually appealing and information-rich ListView items.
## Features
* Custom drawing of multiple lines of text per ListView item
* Integration of images/icons alongside text
* Enhanced data organization and readability
* Full control over item appearance using the DrawItem event
## Use Cases
This approach is ideal for applications such as:
* Contact lists
* Product catalogs
* File explorers
Visual cues like images and structured text improve the user experience and make the UI more professional.
## How It Works
By handling the DrawItem event, developers can:
* Customize the layout and style of each ListView item
* Combine text and images dynamically
* Enables more customized and professional UI design in WinForms applications
