Hi There,

I am implementing a custom control which derives from ListView.

I would like for the final column to fill the remaining space (Quite a common task), I have gone about this via overriding the OnResize method:

     protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnResize(e);

        if (Columns.Count == 0)
            return;
        Columns[Columns.Count - 1].Width = -2; // -2 = Fill remaining space
    }

or via another method:

        protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e)
    {

        base.OnResize(e);

        if (!_autoFillLastColumn)
            return;

        if (Columns.Count == 0)
            return;

        int TotalWidth = 0;
        int i = 0;
        for (; i < Columns.Count - 1; i++)
        {
            TotalWidth += Columns[i].Width;
        }

        Columns[i].Width = this.DisplayRectangle.Width - TotalWidth;
    }

Edit:

This works fine until I dock the ListView into a parent container and resize via that control. Every second time the control size shrinks (IE, drag the the border one pixel), I get a scroll bar on the bottom which can't move at all (not even one pixel).

The result of which is when I drag the size of the parent I am left with a flickering scroll bar in the ListView, and a 50% chance it will be there when the dragging stops.
