What is the column width in a list control after double click on header
List control in report style. I double click on the separator and the column is resized automatically.
I trap the HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK in a class derived from CListCtrl (notify message).
I get the event BUT the width of the column is that BEFORE the double click. I have passed the event onto the ListCtrl base class before querying the header for the new width. I have even tried to strip out pending messages in the queue before getting the column width from the header - no effect.
Trapping the HDN_ENDTRACK notify message doesn't help either.
How can one respond to the double click event of the header and get the new column width?

RichieHindle - sounds good, not tested it.
jaime_olivares - correct about the width of a cell, unfortunately when I get the HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK the cell width is apparently still the same as the width in the header.
roshmon - some good links but I couldn't find anything new that helped directly. However the HDN_ITEMCHANGED (not HDN_ITEMCHANGING) turned out to be my solution. This event was fired with the correct width after resizing. I needed to 'protect' my routine with a bool flag as I only wanted it to run after the drag/resize was finished. The HDN_ITEMCHANGED was pumped many times during the drag resize but I could also trap the start of the drag and set a flag, release the flag at the end drag.

Andy: Thanks for the summary, and for splitting the points. If only everyone on EE were as thoughtful, it would be a better place. 8-)
