Explorer Width

[Guest]

Hi,

Can you get the width of an explorer object *excluding* any panes like
folder list, navigation pane etc?

Sure, with extensive use of the Win32 API's. You have to find all windows
named "rctrl_renwnd32" and check their captions for a match to the Explorer
caption. That window has everything, including all panes and menus, etc.
Then dig down further under that window's child windows until you find the
underlying window you want to check.

A lot of detective work with Spy++ would be needed and experimentation to
get the window you want. Also extensive knowledge of the Win32 API's would
be recommended.

Thanks, Ken - a bit more than I can *handle* I'm afraid
