+1
Such Windows-ism doesn't belong in a cross-platform cross-widgetset library.


As for a simple solution, and which makes it very clear for the
developer what is happening, why not apply that option to the listview,
not per column.

eg:
   ListView.Options := ListView.Options + [lo_AutoSizeLastColumn];


lo = "listview option". I didn't check if the ListView already has a
Options property. I know the StringGrid has, and that is where such
things are defined for the StringGrid. Make sense to me to do similar
for the ListView.


Just my 2¢ worth...
