Do anyone know if it is possible to use the list view control for external list?

It is not showing up in the list picker

I can use Expression an type the list name and view name.

Hi Christian,

I am in need of similar solution where I want to have grid for child external list on my Nintex form. Were you able to find the workaround for this?

It seems a similar issue has been asked before with no native solution found: Display lookup info from an external list

However, let me ask you this: Where is the data coming from?

Yes, it's in an external list built off of an external content type, but is the data initially coming from SQL? 

If so, and if you're simply looking for a layout similar to a list view, you could try using this awesome solution created by Tomasz Poszytek‌, which can bypass the external list and go directly to the source of the data:
