In Explorer, when viewing items in details view, there's a little bit of left padding before the text in any given column. I was wondering if there's a way to obtain that padding value. I was checking out GetSystemMetrics, but I'm not sure if any of those options corresponds to the desired value. Thank you for any help.

1Nope, it's private to the control and undocumented. Seems to be `6 * SM_CXEDGE` though. – Jonathan Potter Feb 09 '20 at 03:02

Thanks. Perhaps based on this thing that I don't understand, the default might be 3 * SM_CXEDGE: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/controls/hdm-getbitmapmargin?redirectedfrom=MSDN – Feb 09 '20 at 05:50

Yes I think it's 3 * on each side (6 * total in padding per item). Play around with it until you get something that looks right, basically :) – Jonathan Potter Feb 09 '20 at 05:52

If you are interested, you can use the tool to measure, and you can find that the value is roughly the same as 3 * SM_CXEDGE. By the way, what is the purpose of doing this? – Strive Sun Feb 10 '20 at 07:26
