Hi Jorg
Thanks for your reply but ColumnWidth is definitely a property
ColumnWidth( ColumnName, ColumnIndex)
m.ColumnWidth = MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",0)
MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",0) = m.NewColumnWidth

Hallo Paul,
are you shure that MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",0) is a property and not a
method?
Have You tried
MyFileView.ColumnWidth("Name",240)

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.

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
