4/8/2010
This macro determines the width of a specified string, using the specified list-view control's current font. You can use this macro or send the LVM_GETSTRINGWIDTH message explicitly.
Syntax
int ListView_GetStringWidth(
HWND hwnd,
LPCSTR psz
);
Parameters
- hwnd
Handle to the list-view control.
- psz
Pointer to a null-terminated string.
Return Value
The string width indicates success. Zero indicates failure.
Remarks
The ListView_GetStringWidth macro returns the exact width, in pixels, of the specified string. If you use the returned string width as the column width in a call to the ListView_SetColumnWidth macro, the string will be truncated. To get the column width that can contain the string without truncating it, you must add padding to the returned string width.
