Listview auto re-size

[AustrianOak]

I searched through the helpfile in listview styles and extended styles and could not find the feeature that would auto fit a listview items width to the text in it. maybe i overlooked something?

is there a function that does this?

I made a UDF for it:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
;

$Main_GUI = GUICreate("ListView Set Equel Column Width Demo", 340, 260, -1, -1, $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW)

$ListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("col1|col2|col3", 20, 30, 300, 150, _
    $LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS+$LVS_NOSORTHEADER, $LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT+$LVS_EX_GRIDLINES)

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("line1|data1|more1", $ListView)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("line2|data2|more2", $ListView)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("line3|data3|more3", $ListView)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("line4|data4|more4", $ListView)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("line5|data5|more5", $ListView)

$Set_Equel_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Set Equel Width", 20, 190, 100, 20)
$Set_Full_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Set Full Width", 20, 220, 100, 20)
