Column width in DataGrid

[Jaime Lucci]

Hi, how've you been?

How can I do to set the column width of a datagrid to fix the width of the
text in each column?

Thanks.

Re: Column width in DataGrid

This code will not solve your problem entirely, but may put you on the right
track. In my case I had a dozen different data grids and didn't want to
specify the names and widths of every collumn in every one of them so I just
created a function to set all of the collumns to a longer width. It is much
simpler to maintain but doesnt give you as much flexibility.

Public Shared Sub SetTableStyle(B yRef MyDataGrid As DataGrid)

'************** *************** *************** *************** ************
' Public method
' called by all forms using datagrids
' defines consistent table styles in one place

'************** *************** *************** *************** ************
Dim objTableStyle As New DataGridTableSt yle
objTableStyle.A lternatingBackC olor = System.Drawing. Color.OldLace
'set every other datagrid line to a seperate color to make it easier to read
objTableStyle.P referredColumnW idth = 150
MyDataGrid.Tabl eStyles.Add(obj TableStyle)
End Sub

You can also specify individual collumns, identified by the collumn name in
your dataset. This can be done programatically , or through the TableStyles
Collectin in the designer.
