ListView_GetStringWidth


int ListView_GetStringWidth(
    HWND hwnd, 		
    LPCSTR psz		
);

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.

hwnd
Handle to the list view control.
psz
Address of a null-terminated string.

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.
