LVM_GETSTRINGWIDTH message
Determines the width of a specified string using the specified list-view control's current font. You can send this message explicitly or by using the ListView_GetStringWidth macro.
Parameters
-
wParam
- Must be zero.
-
lParam
-
Pointer to a null-terminated string.
Return value
Returns the string width if successful, or zero otherwise.
Remarks
The LVM_GETSTRINGWIDTH message returns the exact width, in pixels, of the specified string. If you use the returned string width as the column width in the LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH message, 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.
