Hi,

what would you like to do in code? Double-click on column or resize
column? If you want to resize the col. to its minimum, you can go
through all values in this col. and use the Graphics.Measur eString
method to determin the size of the current string in col and get the
minimum of all values. This is the min. size of the col. The "size" of
the string depends on the used font. So you need also to get the used
font of the col.

string measureString = "Measure String";
Font stringFont = new Font("Arial", 16);

SizeF stringSize = new SizeF();
stringSize = e.Graphics.Meas ureString(measu reString,
stringFont);
With regards,
