cm (centimetres), there are 2.54 cm to the inch.

hmm not sure if it's cm because tried converting it and it was a lot, cause when i use set my listview it's something like this:

    With Me.lvemployees.ColumnHeaders
        .Add , , "Emp ID", 1000, lvwColumnLeft '// the 1000 here is definitely not cm.
        .Add , , "Employee", 3500, lvwColumnLeft
        .Add , , "Status", 2000, lvwColumnLeft
        .Add , , "Phone Number", 2000, lvwColumnLeft
        .Add , , "Zip Code", 1500, lvwColumnRight
    End With

Perhaps this will give you some pointers.

The widths are actually stored in Twips (TWentieth of an Imperial Point). There are 72 Points in an Inch so 1440 Twips in an Inch.

Twips are the values used in VBA.

In the designer the Twips are converted to the regionally specified units (cm or inches). The centimetre value is rarely ever an exact integer because the conversion factor is 567.
