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
