Howdy, I'm afraid im not going to be much help, but i believe i may be experiencing the same problem. I have posted a question which may interest you to read: click If you make any progress I would appreciate it if you'd let me know the secrets ;) Cheers, Alex

I'm not sure I understood your question, but seems what you're after is calculating the width of the view minus the width of the vertical scrollbar so that you can adjust the column to its maximum extent without the horizontal scrollbar appearing. Am i right? If so, ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXVSCROLL) might be what you're looking for. 2) I don't quite understand your question. Sorry. 3) LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER is not an extended style. Use GetListCtrl().ModifyStyle(0,LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER,TRUE) instead. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
