ListView_GetStringWidth macro (commctrl.h)
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
void ListView_GetStringWidth(
hwndLV,
psz
);
Parameters
hwndLV
Type: HWND
A handle to the list-view control.
psz
Type: LPCSTR
A pointer to a null-terminated string.
Return value
None
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 retrieve the column width that can contain the string without truncating it, you must add padding to the returned string width.
