Can anyone confirm whether or not there are any limits imposed on the widths
of autosized columns in a list-view. I've found that the autosizing appears
to have an upper limit, i.e. it will not expand beyond some (unknown)
maximum length. This applies to user-autosizing (double-clicking the
divider) and code-autosizing using LVSCW_AUTOSIZE.
For example, create a new project and place a ListView (VB5 version) and
CommandButton on a form and insert the following code:
Const LVM_SETCOLUMNWI DTH As Long = &H101E
Const LVM_SETEXTENDED LISTVIEWSTYLE As Long = &H1036
Const LVS_EX_LABELTIP As Long = &H4000
Const LVSCW_AUTOSIZE As Long = &HFFFFFFFF
Const LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_ USEHEADER As Long = &HFFFFFFFE
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessag eA" ( _
ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As
Any) As Long
Private Sub Command1_Click( )
Dim i As Long
Call ListView1.ListI tems.Clear
For i = 0 To 100
With ListView1.ListI tems.Add(, , String$(300, AscW(CStr(i))))
.SubItems(1) = String$(300, AscW(CStr(i)))
.SubItems(2) = String$(300, AscW(CStr(i)))
End With
Next
Call SendMessage(Lis tView1.hWnd, LVM_SETCOLUMNWI DTH, 1, ByVal
LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_ USEHEADER)
Call SendMessage(Lis tView1.hWnd, LVM_SETCOLUMNWI DTH, 2, ByVal
LVSCW_AUTOSIZE)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
ListView1.View = lvwReport
Call ListView1.Colum nHeaders.Add(, , "Column 1")
Call ListView1.Colum nHeaders.Add(, , "Column 2")
Call ListView1.Colum nHeaders.Add(, , "Column 3")
Call SendMessage( _
ListView1.hWnd, LVM_SETEXTENDED LISTVIEWSTYLE, LVS_EX_LABELTIP , ByVal
LVS_EX_LABELTIP )
End Sub
I've noticed the following:
1. "Column 3" does not completely autosize, it stops short of the full range
of characters and also does not apply trailing ellipsis. The limit seems to
be 260 chars (259 chars + null terminator), however this only applies to
"drawing" the text since the tooltip indicates that the full text is
correctly stored in the list-view.
2. "Column 2" does not autosize to the header, LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_ USEHEADER
seems to be working like LVSCW_AUTOSIZE here (note that it is not the last
column, hence it should really autosize to the column header).
3. Double-clicking the divider to the right of "Column 1" produces the same
results for "Column 1" as 1. does for "Column 3."
Is this behaviour intentional? I could understand the limits to autosizing
columns based on the fact that true autosizing could get crazy for columns
containing large amounts of text, however there's nothing documented in
MSDN. The clipped text seems like a drawing bug to me, maybe related to
using a MAX_PATH sized buffer for drawing?

You're right (about the newsgroup), I absent mindedly posted to the wrong
group - sorry.
Having said that, a quick test with a WinForms list-view shows that the same
problem occurs, so it's most likely a problem with the underlying common
control rather than any language-specific issue.

Hi Kevin,
I think you may try to take a look at the link below, is that what are you
looking for? If you still have any concern on this issue, please feel free
to post here.
SYMPTOMS
When you add long strings to a ListView control, all of the string is added
to the items collection, but the control can only display the first 259
characters of each item.
PRB: ListView Control Can Only Display 259 Characters per Column (321104) http://support.microsoft.com/default...B;EN-US;321104

Thanks Peter.
Can you explain why this is by design, i.e. why does a limit exist for
displaying an item's text but there is no limit for the actual item text
stored with the item? Is it performance related? I take it then that the
autosizing algorithm uses the displayed string then?

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for your response.
Why the length of the text of listview item is limited to 259 character is
because that the listview is design for display collection of objects like
files and not for general purpose control. So it is similar to the filename
length limitation in the windows file system's MAX_PATH.
Hope this helps.

Okay, thanks. It seems like it would still be a good idea to use trailing
ellipsis when drawing the text for items that have text > 259 characters.

Do you know why in the following code the result is a column of size 0 ?

MyColumnHeader.Text = "col1";
MyColumnHeader.Width = -2; // if you remove this line col appears

You are much better off rolling your own to take account of the different
