Import Text Document to Listview

If anyone knows how to do this please paste the code below.

Do you want to display the contents of a specific .txt file, or do you want a list of all .txt files? Or?

Usually a listview is used to display columns of data. I'm not sure what you're trying to do. ?

Re:

To display 1 column of data.

Code:

       
 For Each textLine As String In System. IO .File.ReadAllLines("C:/test.txt")
     ListView1.Items.Add(textLine)
 Next

'//remove the spaces From system. io . file -> mpgh converts certain words to ****'s  and won't display correctly.

Assuming the text file is small enough to read into ram in one go! If you have small ram and load a huge document, it may fail and crash.
Also, when updating a GUI control numerous times, to save CPU you can tell the control to "not redraw each time I add an item: only redraw once I'm finished adding items" - the difference can be large if you thousands of items to display. Todo:

Be sure to set ListView1's view property to "List" or it will display strangely.
