Auto-size Listview

Hi all

I have a listview, after I've added all of the items in the listview I want
to set the height so that all items can be viewed at once.

Can this be done, if so, how?

Thanks

Hi,

What if you have more items that space available to the listview?

Are you using Details view?

If so use Graphics.Measur eString to get the size of the string, you are
really interested in the height, multiply that for the number of items maybe
you will need to add a constant quantity for the borders and you have the
needed space to show all items.

Not to bothered about that, it's handled elsewhere.

Yep.

What control needs to be measured by MeasureString?

Use P/Invoke and send a LVM_APPROXIMATE VIEWRECT message to it

Hi. This post follows "does python have useless destructors". I'm not an expert, so I hope what I will write is meaningfull and clear. Actually in Python there is no possibility to write code that follows C++ RAII pattern. Of course Python objects are not statics like in C++, but in C++ the auto_ptr class is used for enforcing this pattern for dynamical

Hi, I am running into a problem of mixing UICulture = auto and allowing users to select culture using a dropdown list. I am detecting a querystring, "setlang", and when found, setting the CurrentUICulture to what's specified in the querystring. Since I want to allow UICulture auto detecting, I add UICulture = "auto" to page directive on each page.

at work they decided to center divs thus: body {text-align:center} #content {width: 612px; text-align:left; margin: 0 auto 0 auto; } this works fine in IE & FF, EXCEPT in FF it doesn't work if I change 'auto' to 0 for left and right margin values; I have to leave those at 'auto'.. so I would like to know what exactly means 'auto' -- what value it represents exactly (and does it apply for all elements/values you might apply 'auto' to?)

I currently get asked about my usage of "auto". What is it for? The keyword is clearly superflous here. In contrast to the huge majority of C/C++ developers I write definitions very explicitly like that: int main(char argc, char *argv, char *env) { try { auto Exception mainException(1); mainException.setErrNo(42);

Hi, I've encountered a strange problem with Firefox which I don't have any idea how to resolve. To the point: I've <divelement with a style "height: auto" and I want to retrieve this value ("auto") in JavaScript - however instead of getting "auto" value, I get calculated height. In IE and Opera it simply returns "auto". Any ideas how to check in Firefox if element height was set to "auto" ? I'll be grateful for any help.
