You might want to try using the SetColumnWidth method and give the column width in pixels. The user (or you) can the read the entire contents by dragging the column marker to the right (or you can give a tooltip that displays the entire list control item when the moused over)
self.lc.SetColumnWidth(0, 200) # Set the first list control column to 200 pixels. If you want the column to "auto adjust" to the length of the column header, no matter how long the row contents are, you cann use self.lc.SetColumnWidth(0, wx.LIST_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER) But when you drag out the column to read more the Horizontal Scroll bar might appear. In my limited knowledge, I can not tell whether or not there is anything you can do about it. I don't think there is a way to just prevent the H. Scroll Bar from appearing at all.
