Hide a column in a listctrl programmatically?

Is it possible to hide programmatically a column in a listctrl ?
T.I.A.

CListCtrl::SetColumnWidth(nCol, 0);

"Geek used to be a four-letter word. Now it's a six-figure one."

I got a SDI application with listView. I can load
MS-Access files and view any recordset of
database. Sometime I need to insert a new column,
while sometime I need to delete some columns.
I worked around for hours and hours and could
not found the olution: how to delete columns
from the a listview? I wish someone can give
me a clue.

Thanks.

There may be an easier was to get the column R click but I do not know. Let me see if I can extract what I did.. This should get you going. A right click on the column displays a popup menu to either delete or insert a new column.
