The header control in the ListView control sends notification
to the parent window (e.i. the ListView) before it begins resizing a column.
We can override the OnNotify() function in the CListCtrl derived class
to handle this notification. The code below prevents resizing of all columns.
Note that the resize cursor still shows up.
BOOL CMyListCtrl::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult)
{
switch (((NMHDR*)lParam)->code)
{
case HDN_BEGINTRACKW:
case HDN_BEGINTRACKA:
*pResult = TRUE; // disable tracking
return TRUE; // Processed message
}
return CListCtrl::OnNotify(wParam, lParam, pResult);
}
If you want to prevent resizing of only one column, you should check for
the value in iItem field of the HD_NOTIFY structure. The code below stops
only the first column from being resized.
BOOL CMyListCtrl::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult)
{
HD_NOTIFY *pHDN = (HD_NOTIFY*)lParam;
if((pHDN->hdr.code == HDN_BEGINTRACKW || pHDN->hdr.code == HDN_BEGINTRACKA)
&& pHDN->iItem == 0) // Prevent only first (col# 0) from resizing
{
*pResult = TRUE; // disable tracking
return TRUE; // Processed message
}
return CListCtrl::OnNotify(wParam, lParam, pResult);
}
