Listview width with or without vertical scrollbar

[Brendan]

I have a RadListView, with a ViewType of Listview, and VerticalScrollBar set to AutoHide.  I simply want to get the width of the control including the scrollbar if visible.

I have tried ClientRectangle.Width - it did not take into account the scrollbar.width

So I tried checking the visibility of the scrollbar, if visible then subtract the scrollbar width.  Even when the scrollbar is visible, it always comes back as Visible=False.

Is this a bug or am I doing wrong something wrong? 

Dim iScroll As Integer = 0

'get scrollbar width if needed
If Me.lvwLoadForms.VerticalScroll.Visible = True Then iScroll = SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth

'resize items and group widths
With Me.RadListView1
    .GroupItemSize = New Size(.Width - iScroll, .GroupItemSize.Height)
    .ItemSize = New Size(.Width - .GroupIndent - iScroll, .ItemSize.Height)
End With

Hello Brendan,

Thank you for writing.

Please have a look at the following code snippet demonstrating how to calculate the RadListView's width taking into consideration the vertical scroll bar if it is visible:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        this.radListView1.Items.Add("Item" + i);
        this.radListView2.Items.Add("Item" + i);
    }
    for (int i = 5; i < 10; i++)
    {
        this.radListView2.Items.Add("Item" + i);
    }
}

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int l1 = this.radListView1.Width;
    if (this.radListView1.ListViewElement.ViewElement.VScrollBar.Visibility == ElementVisibility.Visible)
    {
        l1 -= this.radListView1.ListViewElement.ViewElement.VScrollBar.Size.Width;
    }
    int l2 = this.radListView2.Width;

    if (this.radListView2.ListViewElement.ViewElement.VScrollBar.Visibility == ElementVisibility.Visible)
    {
        l2 -= this.radListView2.ListViewElement.ViewElement.VScrollBar.Size.Width;
    }

    this.radLabel1.Text = l1.ToString();
    this.radLabel2.Text = l2.ToString();
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.

Thank you, that works great.  I didn't know about the ListViewElement, but I will add the Control spy to the project to see if I can find some of these things on my own :-)
