Adjusting A ListView's Column Width

[haroldjclements]

Hello all,

 

Does anyone know how to adjust the width of your columns when using a ListView object?

 

listView1.get_Columns().Add("Description", -2, HorizontalAlignment.Left);

 

For some reason I through that the �-2� dictated the column width. However if I adjust this (either way) it just makes the width smaller.

 

Any ideas with be gratefully received.

Hi haroldjclements,

 

use the following line of code:

 

//[0] = number of the column you wish to change
this.listView1.Columns[0].Width = 200;

 

You have to add columns to the listview's columns collection for this to work (if u haven't already).

See "columns" property in property window and add columns there.

Thanks EFileTahi-A for your response.

 

I don�t suppose that anyone could translate this line into J#?

listView.get_Columns

does not have a width method!

 

Thanks in advance,

Sorted it :D

 

Rather then declare the columns and the headers together, I created a ColumnHeader object and then used the .set_Width() method.

 

It works fine, so I am happy.

 

Cheers everyone,

lol, sorry, I though It was c#, now that am paying more attention to the sample code you wrote in first place, yes, it's definitaly j# :)

 

And am also glad you manage to solve it :D
