Parameters nCol  Index of the column whose width is to be set. In list view, this parameter must be [ASCII 150]1.

cx  The new width of the column.

Remarks Changes the width of a column in report view or list view.

The documentation of the parameter cx is incomplete and should be the following:

cx  New width of the column, in list view coordinates, or one of the following values:

Value                     Meaning -                     ---  LVSCW_AUTOSIZE             Automatically sizes the column. LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER  Automatically sizes the column to fit the header text.
