[DUG] Delphi 2006 Listview problem

[Alister Christie]

Possibly you could write a descendant of TListView which has some 
correction code in it, then do a search and replace in the .dfm and .pas 
files and replace TListView with TMyListView.

You'd need to make sure that your .dfm files are not in the binary 
format - which they probably wont be if you are using D2005/6
