after trying a lot, I am a litle helpless with the following problem:
When I set
    OwnerDraw := True
    ViewStyle := vsReport
in a TListView, and the user resizes a column, Windows (?)
seems to forget to inform the component that it should repaint
its columns. The result is a very ugly listview.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

Here is my sample code to demonstrate the problem:

===============
// File LV.pas
unit LV;

interface

uses
  Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs, ComCtrls;

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    ListView1: TListView;
    procedure ListView1CustomDrawItem(Sender: TCustomListView;
      Item: TListItem; State: TCustomDrawState; var DefaultDraw: Boolean);
  private
  public
  end;

var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}

procedure TForm1.ListView1CustomDrawItem(Sender: TCustomListView;
  Item: TListItem; State: TCustomDrawState; var DefaultDraw: Boolean);
var
  b: integer;
  rs: TSize;
  r, myrect: TRect;
begin
  r := Item.DisplayRect(drBounds);  
  with Sender.Canvas do
  begin
    b := ListView1.columns[0].width;
    rs := TextExtent(item.caption);
    TextRect(r, b-3-rs.cx, r.top+1, item.caption);
    myRect := r;
    inc(myrect.left, b);
    myRect.Right := myrect.left + ListView1.columns[1].width;
    TextRect(myRect, myRect.left+2, MyRect.top+1, item.subitems[0]);
  end;
  DefaultDraw := false;
end;

end.

===============
// File LV.dfm
object Form1: TForm1
  Left = 188
  Top = 107
  Width = 377
  Height = 276
  Caption = 'Form1'
  Color = clBtnFace
  Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
  Font.Color = clWindowText
  Font.Height = -11
  Font.Name = 'MS Sans Serif'
  Font.Style = []
  OldCreateOrder = False
  PixelsPerInch = 96
  TextHeight = 13
  object ListView1: TListView
    Left = 10
    Top = 6
    Width = 347
    Height = 237
    Columns = <
      item
        Caption = 'Column 1'
      end
      item
        Caption = 'Column 2'
      end>
    HotTrackStyles = []
    Items.Data = {
      B10000000200000000000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF01000000000000001A414141
      4141414141414141414141414141414141414141414141185757575757575757

      5A5A5A5A5A5A5A5A5A5A5A5A5A5A5A5A5A}
    OwnerDraw = True
    TabOrder = 0
    ViewStyle = vsReport
    OnCustomDrawItem = ListView1CustomDrawItem
  end
end
