Listview Colour & Column width

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi,

Could somebody please tell me if it is possible to do:

a) Change the background colour of each item in a listview. I know that the
forecolour change is possible.

b) To automatically resize a column in a listview based on the maximum width
of the cells in that column

Thank you for your time.

Yes, you can subclass the NM_CUSTOMDRAW message and customize the
control any way you like. For a very basic example of subclassing
NM_CUSTOMDRAW, have a look at the CustomDrawLV project at
http://www.mvps.org/vbvision/

Yes, you can send a LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH message with either the
LVSCW_AUTOSIZE or LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER flag.

Thank you.
I'll have to test to see if it causes other list views or the program to
crash..
