Individual Datagrid Column Width

Mike Fellows

Im trying to set the column width of individual datgrid columns
I can set the column widths of all the columns at once using

Me.DataGrid1.Pr eferredColumnWi dth = 100

But I am unable to set the individual column widths

Also the source from where my data is coming from the first
column contains a date and time i.e. 01/01/2003 12:00:00
but within the datagrid it displays 01/01/2003 and i need it
to also show the time

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Regards

this should help make sure you set the width for al the col's in the
datagrid

Dim ts As New DataGridTableSt yle

ts.MappingName = "Table"

dgrMain.TableSt yles.Clear()

dgrMain.SetData Binding(dsForm, "Table")

dgrMain.TableSt yles.Add(ts)

ts.GridColumnSt yles(0).Width = 0

ts.GridColumnSt yles(1).Width = 117

ts.GridColumnSt yles(2).Width = 280

ts.GridColumnSt yles(3).Width = 83

ts.AllowSorting = True

ts.AlternatingB ackColor = Color.Lavender

ts.BackColor = Color.WhiteSmok e

ts.ForeColor = Color.MidnightB lue

ts.GridLineColo r = Color.Gainsboro

ts.HeaderBackCo lor = Color.MidnightB lue

ts.HeaderForeCo lor = Color.WhiteSmok e

ts.LinkColor = Color.Navy

ts.SelectionBac kColor = Color.Navy

ts.SelectionFor eColor = Color.Lavender

ts.ColumnHeader sVisible = True
