I have implemented VCL code to overwrite the caption of items with a unicode string. This is working fine but I've noticed a potential issue. I ask each item to return the display rect for its label /but this is based on the item's ANSI label/ and there's no reason to expect it to be the correct rectangle for my string. I've had a look on MSDN but it seems that the listview uses 8 bit strings only. That means the best I can hope for is to get the biggest possible display caption. If needs must I can probably work that out for myself but even that isn't the end of the problem. Assuming I can get such a rectangle I need to be able to work out how to reduce it to the minimum needed since that's what a normal list view does. Oh and I need all this to work in all four view modes. So, assuming you read this to the end - do you have any suggestions? -- Andrue Cope [TeamB] [Bicester, Uk] http://info.borland.com/newsgroups/guide.html
