Listview strikes again

[Desbaratizador]

Hi

I use one of the methods of Listview to add columns to the control(Ex: Listview.Columns.Add("Name", width, horizontalalignment)), and Microsoft documention explain that -1 and -2 are valid values to set the width parameter, respectively, to size the column to the largest subitem or columnheader caption.
Meanwhile when i set the width parameter to that values i only get a mega column.

Anyone have a explanation ?

I don't know about the -1 as all this does is make the column real small but the -2 sets the column headers to the width of the text in the headers not the items in the rows.....they will be truncated to fit the width of the headers.

The last column header will take up the full space thats remaining depending on how big a listview you made.
