There is nothing missing. There is 1 Local to much. The 2. in line 12, after removing it the ControlID of the LV is assigned to Global $ListView (line 6) as needed.

Yep, as AutoBert says, you are declaring a Global variable $listview, but this is not actually assigned to the listview. it is just a blank global variable. You go on to create your GUI with a listview within the function as a Local variable (i.e. only used within the function). Hence why you are not getting any messages from the WM_NOTIFY function. 

Remove the "Local" and it will work as expected:

$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("Product ID|Category|Last Update", 2, 2, 394, 250)
