ListView ColumnHeader.TextAlign can not be set other than Left for Col 1

VB 2005 Beta 2.
When editing the columns in the IDE properties page for a ListView control, I am not able to set the TextAlign property of ColumnHeader1 to anything other than "Left" - for example, "Center" or "Right". It also does not work in code:

ListView1.Columns(0).TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center

Has no affect.

Does anyone know why this might be?

Just a note, this is still happening in the final release of VB 2005.
Anyone?

This is by OS (Shell) design. Check out the documentation for the LVCOLUMN structure.

The leftmost column is always left-justified and cannot be changed.

Thank you very much for the link. Additionally, in this link there is a statement on how to implement a workaround for this particular requirement under the "Remarks" section. I have tried that work-around and it certainly does work.
