Gii Index view: how to avoid CListView widget

When I use GII to create crud, it will use the CListView widget in the index view. This makes it very difficult to do any edits. Is there any way I can get the CListView written out in the index view?

thanks

You can extend Gii templates (like described here: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.gii#extending-gii) or provide your own generators.

Also remember that Gii is scaffolding and this means that you are free to modify the basic code created from templates.
