I'm using a wxListCtrl in report mode to display a file list. Since I know, for example, that file size is never showed with more than 5 digits, I'd like to change its column width to gain space for other fields.
The naive approach is to call wxWindow::GetCharWidth and to multiply the return value by 5, but this doesn't work well since wxListCtrl is using a proportional font.
So I did something like:dc = wx.WindowDC(list)
width, height = dc.GetTextExtent('99999')
list.SetColumnWidth(2, width)This doesn't help either, since width is underestimated (the list only shows 3 digits); the same happens with
dc.GetFullTextExtent('99999', font = list.GetFont())
Is there any (other) way to obtain the correct text extent?
Does using a wxClientDC make any difference? How about first doing dc.SetFont(list.GetFont()) ?
