c++ - win32 List View Abbreviating Text -

i'm using win32 create list view downloaded icons, however, text abbreviated @ approximately 19 characters (as size 12 font, segoe ui). have included createwindow , item creation code i'm using it.

any advice appreciated.

hwnd airlinelist = createwindow(wc_listview,l"",ws_child | lvs_list | ws_tabstop | ws_border,18,104,323,74,hwnd,(hmenu)3,hinst,null);                      lvitem newi;                     zeromemory(&newi,sizeof(lvitem));                                            const wchar_t* n = l"client website name, website.com"                       newi.psztext = newc;                                                 newi.mask = lvif_text | lvif_image;                     newi.iimage = 0;                                                 listview_insertitem(airlinelist,&newi);  

the above create list view icon , effect of "client website nam..." despite taking half of list view's width.

i'll assume you're using lvs_list mode because style shown in code sample. can use lvm_setcolumnwidth message adjust column size once you've added items list control. can use listview_setcolumnwidth macro. e.g.:

sendmessage(airlinelist, lvm_setcolumnwidth, 0, 300); 

this set columns 300 pixels wide. if you're using lvs_report mode need set width each column individually.
