Answer 1

ListView control does not provide functionality for adding multiple header rows out of the box. To add multiple header rows you will need to handle some of ListView events or define new events and implement drawing of additional header-row yourself. There are number of examples on customizing appearance of grid and list controls:

• Article about changing appearance of ListView control header
• Thread about adding new header-row to DataGridView.
