Can ListView's horizontal scroll bar be prevented?

[qwert]

I have a special situation where I need a hidden sort field as part of each set of information in a ListView.  The actual sort is preformed by the script (_SortItems), so the user never needs to view—or even be aware of—the sort parameter.

Can a ListView be defined in a way that prevents the horizontal scroll bar from ever being displayed?

Here's a script that shows the situation:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>

Local $array[5][3] = [ ['C:\Program Files','12/01/2016','201'], _
                            ['D:\Au3 Scripts','07/03/2014','301'], _
                            ['F:\Downloads','01/01/2017','101'] ]

$GUI = GUICreate("ListView Test", 400, 320, -1, 180)

$Go = GUICtrlCreateButton("Go", 324, 84, 60, 28)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Select a listview entry and click Go")

$Elements = GUICtrlCreateListView("", 24, 12, 280, 280)

_GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($Elements, "Directory Name", 200)
_GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($Elements, "Date", 76)
_GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($Elements, "Unseen sort", 76)

_GUICtrlListView_AddArray($Elements, $array)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    Case $Go
        $Line = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString($Elements)
        msgbox(0, "Operation", $Line)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Thanks in advance for any suggestions of what to try.

qwert,

Just hide the "hidden" column by setting its width to 0:

_GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($Elements, "Unseen sort", 0)

Wow.  I had been looking at that for too long.  It works, of course.

Thanks for your timely response.  Much appreciated.
