ListView indentedListView;

private void InitializeIndentedListViewItems()
{
    indentedListView = new ListView();
    indentedListView.Width = 200;

    // View must be set to Details to use IndentCount.
    indentedListView.View = View.Details;
    indentedListView.Columns.Add("Indented Items", 150);
   
    // Create an image list and add an image.
    ImageList list = new ImageList();
    list.Images.Add(new Bitmap(typeof(Button), "Button.bmp"));

    // SmallImageList must be set when using IndentCount.
    indentedListView.SmallImageList = list;

    ListViewItem item1 = new ListViewItem("Click", 0);
    item1.IndentCount = 1;
    ListViewItem item2 = new ListViewItem("OK", 0);
    item2.IndentCount = 2;
    ListViewItem item3 = new ListViewItem("Cancel", 0);
    item3.IndentCount = 3;
    indentedListView.Items.AddRange(new ListViewItem[] { item1, item2, item3 });

    // Add the controls to the form.
    this.Controls.Add(indentedListView);
}

Private indentedListView As ListView


Private Sub InitializeIndentedListViewItems() 
    indentedListView = New ListView()
    indentedListView.Width = 200
    
    ' View must be set to Details to use IndentCount.
    indentedListView.View = View.Details
    indentedListView.Columns.Add("Indented Items", 150)
    
    ' Create an image list and add an image.
    Dim list As New ImageList()
    list.Images.Add(New Bitmap(GetType(Button), "Button.bmp"))
    
    ' SmallImageList must be set when using IndentCount.
    indentedListView.SmallImageList = list
    
    Dim item1 As New ListViewItem("Click", 0)
    item1.IndentCount = 1
    Dim item2 As New ListViewItem("OK", 0)
    item2.IndentCount = 2
    Dim item3 As New ListViewItem("Cancel", 0)
    item3.IndentCount = 3
    indentedListView.Items.AddRange(New ListViewItem() {item1, item2, item3})
    
    ' Add the controls to the form.
    Me.Controls.Add(indentedListView)

End Sub

Remarks

The IndentCount property can be used only when the View property of the containing ListView is set to Details, and the SmallImageList property of the ListView is set.
