ListView_GetStringWidth

  • Article

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.

int ListView_GetStringWidth( 
  HWND hwnd, 
  LPCSTR psz 
);

Parameters

  • hwnd
    Handle to the list-view control.
  • psz
    Pointer to a null-terminated string.

Return Values

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.
