DataGrid is there a way to make a column as wide as the longest text?

I can shorten and lengthen a grid column with the width property, but
can it be done real time without my having to do anything? I don't
want the columns as wide as they are, but sometimes they might have to
be because of the length of the text.

Thanks for any help.

If you don't set a specified width of a column, it will grow up to the
maximum allowed width.

Right, I want it to be only as long as the text requires.
