Auto Resizing CListCtrl columns as Dialog is resized

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:

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.

hi,

thanks for your response, sorry about my taking so long to post back. I just got around to fixing this, Its fixed.
