ListView: Three dots '...' issue

Hello,

Does anyone know how I can tell the ListView NOT to
display the three dots when it thinks the text will not
fit in the column.
E.g. 'Hello World' will be displayed as 'Hello...' if the
column width cannot fit the word 'World'.

Thanks,

Hi Buddy,

You can compare your item's string length with the column header's width.
If the string's length is more than the the column header's width, you can
cut the
item string so that it dose not display "..."

To get the column header's width, you can use ListView control's Columns
property.
For each ColumnHeader in ColumnHeaderCol lection, use its width property.

Hope this helps.
