I have a column in a listview ( not a Stratalistview )  that may not be relevant depending on how I pull the data.  If not, I would like to set its width to 0.

I thought I could say

this.lvCompare.Columns["colMyCol"].Width = 0;

but it tells me it is not set to an instance of an object.  I tried it after the requery but no luck

In debugger I see no properties exposed at all on the columns collection. 

What's the trick.?   Anyone have an example of how to do this? 

( remember, traditional SF listview,not Stratalistview )

TIA

Try using its index position:

this.lvCompare.Columns[1].Width = 0;

Or I guess you could also iterate through all columns and find the one with the Header you are looking for, and then change its width.

Obrigado, Ivan.  I'll try that.  Saw an overload for the columnheader and thought i could get away with that. 

If index works that will be fine.

De nada.

Using index worked great ! 

Glad to hear that!
