Hi,

Whenever the number of items in the list control goes beyond the
control height, the vertical scroll bar appears. But along with it,
horizontal scroll bar also shows up. Is there a simple way to never
allow horizontal scroll bar to appear. I tried couple of options:
a. ShowScrollBar(hwnd1, false);
b. Style &= ~WS_HSCROLL;

But none worked.

The horizontal scroll bar appears whenever the width of the columns
exceeds
the room in the window. Because the width of the vertical scroll bar
takes
up some room, not all the columns fit anymore. You can adjust the width
of
one column to be shorter by the width of the vertical scrollbar.

Thats a good idea. But is there any event handler that i can overwrite
to dynamically change the width of columns whenever the vertical
scroll bar appears/disappears?

A CListCtrl is just a window so it gets a WM_SIZE message whenever the size
of its client area changes. Derive your own list control class from CWnd and
handle WM_SIZE/OnSize in that class.
