I respond to the WM_SIZE message to change the column with, but sometimes a spurious horizontal
scrollbar from appears.

What if, when resizing the columns, you use LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER for the cx param in the
LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH/ListView_SetColumnWidth() call for the last column?

As I said to Ravi, I think I'll have to superclass the window and handle WM_SIZE BEFORE the control gets it.

DWORD style = GetWindowLong(m_hWnd, GWL_STYLE);<br />
int scrollWidth = (style & WS_VSCROLL) ? ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXVSCROLL) - 2 : 2;<br />
<br />
CRect rect;<br />
m_listCtrl.GetClientRect(rect);<br />
m_listCtrl.SetColumnWidth(CSpyListCtrl::DATA_COLUMN, rect.right - CSpyListCtrl::TIME_COLUMN_WIDTH - CSpyListCtrl::TOPIC_COLUMN_WIDTH - scrollWidth);

Ah, it doesn't show up for no reason. It shows up when resizing and during that resizing operation the column width is momentarily bigger that the size of the window BEFORE its adjusted.
