How to hide a column in a ListView control?

Question

How can I hide a column in a ListView control, without setting the column Width property to 0?

Also, can I lock the Width

Answer 1

If you have only one column, a second empty column shows up to fill the extra space to the right. To hide this empty column, implement the listview resize event. In there do the following.

m_lstItems.Columns[0].Width = m_lstItems.Width - 5;

This will effecitvely hide the extra empty column and instead have the first column take up all the space in the listview.
