Auto Resizing CListCtrl columns as Dialog is resized

[austinium]

Hi,

I have a CListCtrl with 2 columns. Right now the CListCtrl expands and shrinks as the dialog is resized, however the columns do not resize, what i am trying to do is to divide the width of the CListCtrl equally among the 2 columns. I have tried using SetColumnWidth without much luck, heres the code:

CRect rect;
int newWidth;
if(m_pList->GetSafeHwnd())
{	
	m_pList->GetWindowRect(rect);
	ScreenToClient(rect);	
	newWidth = (rect.right-rect.left)/2;
	rect.right = rect.left + cx - 20;
	m_pList->SetColumnWidth(0,newWidth);
	m_pList->SetColumnWidth(1,newWidth);
                m_pList->MoveWindow(rect);
}

how can this be done?

Thanks

A couple of notes:

1. Is this called in the OnSize handler for your dialog?

2. You might need to call m_pList->MoveWindow(rect) before calling the SetColumnWidth on the columns (I just looked at working code and I call it before).

3. Instead of GetWindowRect() and ScreenToClient, just call GetClientRect(). It will more accurately represent the size for your control, and does the coordinate conversion internally.
