What happens if you try
  MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",0) = MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",0)

Thanks Tracy

It's worth a try  ... I tried  ... and still get "Function argument
value,type or count is invalid"

Have you tried to use the STORE command
      STORE 240 TO MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",0)

It might not work either.

Fileview controls)

Thanks for the suggestion Eric but the first column is in fact 0 because
the following

? MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",0) gives the correct result for the
width of the first column Paul

It's interesting that the VB syntax has the first column as 0 when VB
is a
one-based array language. Have you tried a 1 there instead for the 2nd
parameter?

Hi

It's a few years old now, but I have the Sky Software Shell Megapack
suite (V8) which contains the two (ActiveX) controls above as well as a
drive combo control.  I have used these successfully in the past but
have run into a problem.  The Fileview control has a Public Read-Write
Property ColumnWidth which, according to the help file, "Gets/Sets the
width of the column in pixels".  The VB syntax in the help is:

Public Property ColumnWidth(ByVal ColumnName As String, ByVal
ColumnIndex As Long) As Long

? MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",0) and ?
MyFileView.Object.ColumnWidth("Name",0)  both work fine and return 120.

Trying to set the column width as follows

MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",0) = 240 gives "Function argument value,
type or count is invalid"

and MyFileView.Object.ColumnWidth("Name",0) = 240 gives "Syntax error"

Am I missing something (I have checked and there is no method or event
on the control which references ColumnWidth).

Alternatively, can anybody suggest affordable (aka cheap, preferably
free) alternatives to these controls which are designed to closely
mimic
the behaviour of Windows Explorer?

Many thanks

Paul Newton
