IHeaderCtrl::InsertColumn method (mmc.h)

Adds a column to a default result pane.

Syntax

HRESULT InsertColumn(
  [in] int     nCol,
  [in] LPCWSTR title,
  [in] int     nFormat,
  [in] int     nWidth
);

Parameters

[in] nCol

A zero-based index of the column being inserted.

[in] title

A value that specifies the string that represents the title of the column being inserted. This string can have a maximum length of MAX_PATH characters.

[in] nFormat

A value that specifies the position of text within the column. For column zero, nFormat must be LVCFMT_LEFT. This value must be one of the following:

LVCFMT_LEFT

Text is left-aligned.

LVCFMT_CENTER

Text is center-aligned.

LVCFMT_RIGHT

Text is right-aligned.

[in] nWidth

A value that specifies the width of the column in pixels. This value must be one of the following:

MMCLV_AUTO

MMC automatically determines the width of the column based on its title string.

HIDE_COLUMN

Introduced in MMC 1.2. The column is inserted, but it is hidden. Be aware that the user can make the column visible when customizing a list view.

For snap-ins built with the MMC 1.2 SDK, but which are loaded in an older version of MMC, HIDE_COLUMN is interpreted as a zero width. The user can widen the column by dragging it with the mouse.

Return value

This method can return one of these values.

Remarks

MMC does not persist in memory any changes made to a column set due to the action of IHeaderCtrl::InsertColumn, so snap-ins must update persisted column configuration data after inserting columns into a column set. See IHeaderCtrl2 and Column Persistence for more information.
