ListView.ColumnWidthChanging Event

Note: This event is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Occurs when the width of a column is changing.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)

'Declaration
Public Event ColumnWidthChanging As ColumnWidthChangingEventHandler
'Usage
Dim instance As ListView
Dim handler As ColumnWidthChangingEventHandler

AddHandler instance.ColumnWidthChanging, handler

/** @event */
public void add_ColumnWidthChanging (ColumnWidthChangingEventHandler value)

/** @event */
public void remove_ColumnWidthChanging (ColumnWidthChangingEventHandler value)

JScript supports the use of events, but not the declaration of new ones.

This event allows you to check the new column width with the ColumnWidthChangingEventArgs.NewWidth property, and cancel the event if you choose by setting the Cancel property to true.

For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.

The following code example demonstrates handling the ColumnWidthChanging event. It also demonstrates the ColumnWidthChangingEventArgs.NewWidth and Cancel members. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form. Call InitializeListView1 from the form's constructor or Load event handler.

Private WithEvents listView1 As New ListView()

Private Sub InitializeListView1()

    ' Initialize a ListView in detail view and add some columns.
    listView1.View = View.Details
    listView1.Width = 200
    listView1.Columns.Add("Column1")
    listView1.Columns.Add("Column2")
    Me.Controls.Add(listView1)

End Sub


' Handle the ColumnWidthChangingEvent.
Private Sub listView1_ColumnWidthChanging(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As ColumnWidthChangingEventArgs) _
    Handles listView1.ColumnWidthChanging

    ' Check if the new width is too big or too small.
    If e.NewWidth > 100 OrElse e.NewWidth < 5 Then

        ' Cancel the event and inform the user if the new
        ' width does not meet the criteria.
        MessageBox.Show("Column width is too large or too small")
        e.Cancel = True
    End If

End Sub
