ListView Column Width Problem

Hello,

First, thanks to everyone that has answered my many questions it the past.
It has helped greatly!

Now, I'm using VS 2005 Pro and I have a standard ListView control on a form
and it contains 4 columns and 4 rows. I've selected the 10pt Courier New
font. When I'm in Designer I can stretch the column widths as wide as I
want. However, when I run the application it makes them as wide as it wants
and completely ignores the widths I've set in designer. Is there some known
bug in this area?

Thanks,
Ray

I want to check the width of the error message text and if necessary, increase the width of...

Thw way I'm currently doing it is using the subitems property to add it. Unfortunately,

The clcik event on the ListView control seems to trigger off the item level ( the first column ). I would like to be able to trap the click event on a particular subitem ( a specific column's row ). If possible, what do I do to activate that 'cell' - thanks. I thought that listView.LabelEdit = true; would enable me to navigate into the cells or something like listView.items .subitems.LabelEdit - but I did not see such a property....

I'm having a rather tedious problem with the listview control in visual basic.net I am trying to achive two simple procedures, I thought :) 1. I have only one column populated but still there is an extra empty column listed to the right of the header. Is there no way to specify that I only want a single column. Or is there a way to hide that unpopulated extra column that I don't want.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
