Microsoft "forgot" to provide the ListView control with the GetVisibleCount property, as it did, for example, with the TreeView control. However, getting this information is as easy as sending a message to the control: Click here to copy the following block Private Const LVM_FIRST = &H1000 Private Const LVM_GETCOUNTPERPAGE = (LVM_FIRST + 40) Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal _   hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, _   lParam As Any) As Long ' Return the number of visible items in a ListView control Private Function ListViewGetVisibleCount(LV As ListView) As Long   ListViewGetVisibleCount = SendMessage(LV.hwnd, LVM_GETCOUNTPERPAGE, 0&, _     ByVal 0&) End Function
