Setting width of a column in a DataGrid

Hi l&g

It's weird but I can't find an easy way to set the width of a column in a DataGrid. It must be hidden somewhere. I searched google but it's all vb-ish and not to the point. Can someone sketch me how I should do this

What I actually want to do is to specify the width of a column relative to the width of the DataGrid control so that the columns always span the entire width of the DataGrid. For instance 4 columns, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%

Thanks

And if you want percentages then:

width = Unit.Percentage (10);

I thought there should be simple way of setting the column width in the a DataGrid. I've set up a table style (properties tab) that lengthen the columns, but I can't seem to bind this table style to the grid (or it's columns I guess). No matter what I do the grid keeps a standard column size for each column. Can anyone throw me a bone here? Thanks.

Hi y'all, I have resized the columns in a DataGrid and I want to set the width of the DataGrid to fit the columns. Just summing the column widths is too short due to the grid and gray row selection column on the left. I have the widths of the columns. What other values do I need to include in the DataGrid width? Thanx,

I'm trying to set the column widths for a datagrid. You'd think it would be easy. I looked it up in google and the first thing I found looked promising: datagrid1.columns(0).width = 2000 datagrid1.columns(1).width = 1000 Except that there is no such things as a columns collection in a datagrid.

Hello, I have a one datagrid that will be based on different datatables. One datatable may have 7 columns, another 15...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
