The following code example demonstrates initializing a ListView in detail view and automatically resizing the columns using the AutoResizeColumns method. To run this example, paste this code into a Windows Form and call the InitializeResizingListView2 method from the form's constructor or Load event handler.
private ListView resizingListView2 = new ListView(); private Button resizeButton = new Button(); private void InitializeResizingListView2() { // Set location and text for button. resizeButton.Location = new Point(100, 15); button1.Text = "Resize"; button1.Click += new EventHandler(button1_Click); // Set the ListView to details view. resizingListView2.View = View.Details; //Set size, location and populate the ListView. resizingListView2.Size = new Size(200, 100); resizingListView2.Location = new Point(40, 40); resizingListView2.Columns.Add("HeaderSize"); resizingListView2.Columns.Add("ColumnContent"); ListViewItem listItem1 = new ListViewItem("Short"); ListViewItem listItem2 = new ListViewItem("Tiny"); listItem1.SubItems.Add(new ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem( listItem1, "Something longer")); listItem2.SubItems.Add(new ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem( listItem2, "Something even longer")); resizingListView2.Items.Add(listItem1); resizingListView2.Items.Add(listItem2); // Add the ListView and the Button to the form. this.Controls.Add(resizingListView2); this.Controls.Add(resizeButton); } private void resizeButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { resizingListView2.AutoResizeColumns(ColumnHeaderAutoResizeStyle.HeaderSize); }
