## Custom Item Height in Details View of Better ListView

Blog Post by Libor Tinka published on Wednesday, 21 March 2012 in Better ListView

Better ListView 2.7.0.0 now supports items of arbitrary height in Details view:

Items with custom height

Items with variable heights were possible in recent versions of Better ListView as well, but this adjustment was limited to heights which are multiples of text line height.

We have introduced a BetterListViewItem.CustomHeight property, which is 0 by default.

Every item has some minimum size (defined by the font and image) but it can get arbitrarily larger. The following formula explains how item height is measured in Better ListView:

height = max(minimum height, image height, text height, custom height)

Setting minimum height for all items is possible through layout properties and the latter is defined by the item itself.
