in the standard .NET Framework, the ListView control has an option to rename the items by clicking them once with a mouse, or programmatically (e.g. in response to an F2 key press). the DevExpress ImageListBoxControl, which is the closest to ListView that i found (i only need one column, with text items and an icon for each item, like the Details view with HeaderStyle=None in ListView) doesn't have that. anyone has an idea how to achieve this functionality, either with ImageListBoxControl or some other control?

Perhaps the XtraTreeList control will serve your purpose? If you want to edit values, you'll want to bind the tree list to a data
source. I even see in the help topics that the F2 key will activate a focused cell's editor. Check it out.

but what will i do with the tree lines on the left edge? i don't want it to look like a tree.

i'm considering sticking a TextEdit on top of an ImageListBoxControl to get this functionality.

Then perhaps the XtraGrid control would be more suitable for your requirements. Quite a bit of control over its appearance and
functionality is possible if you're willing to put forth the effort in learning all of its features.

Otherwise, we have to wait for the ListView control from Developer Express. See issue CS14696 in the support center.
