1. ListView columns
I have started using ListView boxes -
and they are very good.
But does anyone know why I ALWAYS
have one extra unused and unusable
column on the right side? And how to
get rid of it! I should be very glad
to know.
The demo program with Win32Lib shows
the same effect, so maybe even DC
has trouble with this.

Assuming you use Win32lib you can use insertListViewColumn
Lke this:
constant pListView = create( ListView,{ },hWnd,x1,y1,x2,y2,or_all({LVS_REPORT,
LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS}))
insertListViewColumn(pListView,1,0,LVCFMT_LEFT,90,"4",0)
insertListViewColumn(pListView,1,0,LVCFMT_LEFT,33,"3",0)
insertListViewColumn(pListView,1,0,LVCFMT_LEFT,33,"2",0)
insertListViewColumn(pListView,1,0,LVCFMT_LEFT,33,"1",0)
the command will let you set the width of the column and how many
columns but, they have to be placed in reverse order which is
strange practice. I think this is fixed in the next not yet released version
of Win32lib.
Hope this helps!

3. Re: ListView columns
Andy,
I don't think it is an actual "column", it's just unused space, that's why
clicking on it has no effect. To get rid of it, you'd have to make the
columns entirely fit the LV control. Use "getCtlSize ( atom id )" for the
LV, then compute the desired sizes of the columns to entirely fit the LV in
relation to the width of the LV, then use the "insertListViewColumn" command
Euman suggested.
Looks like if you add all the columns this way, you have to put the first
column first, then reverse the order of all the remaining to get them to be
in the expected place. For simplicity, however, if you put the first column
in when you create the LV, then you can just put *all* the added ones in
reverse order, but then you lose the ability to set the width of the first
column.
