Cursors - Resize columns

I trying to understand how to have a column spliter cursor with a dashed line
drawn down indicating the current size of the column depending on where the
splitter cursor is. I want this to be like a crusor so I don't have to
repaint my control as the line moves. Any references or code?

Dennis,

Can you rewrite your message, probably you are meaning the splitter control
and for that the point where that exist in the form. For that you need the
panel side where it exist, however I am not sure if that is your question,

I can get the splitter cursor to show when the mouse moves over the column
boundary. However, I also want to draw a vertical line from the cursor
(Vsplit cursor) to the bottom of the control and have it move with the cursor
in the mouse move event either left or right as the Vsplit cursor moves. I
know I can draw a vertical line on the graphics object for the control but I
don't want to have to repaint the control whenever the vertical line and
Vsplit cursor move.

Thanks..I'll give that news group a try. I think I've got it figured out
though using BitBlt routine. Copy the rectangle under which I will draw the
line (or slim rectangle) to a bitmap then redraw the bitmap on the graphics
object when the line is moved to recreate the original pixels under the
original line.

Hi I have a data grid view that I have AllowUserToResizeColumns = True but at runtime, the user cannot resize columns. Is there something I am missing? Is there a conflict with the ability to sort columns? Thanks

I have an unbound grid that is on my form (not created programmatically). I stretched the size to what I think is wide enough to accomodate the 6 columns I will be creating. I plan on making the width wide enough so that you don't have to scroll to the right. I want to know if there is a property to resize the width programmatically in case I add or remove columns. thanks

I have a datagridview on a windows form, AllowUserToResizeColumns is set to false, it has 3 columns, as you'd expect i cant resize the columns, but i CAN resize the last column? I have column headers visible set to true, and i can drag the far end of the final column back n forwards. If i set column headers visible to false, then i have the ability to drag from the area where the rows are!

Hi! This discussion may help other programmers get a better idea of how to save uploaded images through a website. Why? Well currently, I save 3 versions of every uploaded image on my own little website: 1. Small: DOWNsize of original image to be used as a thumbnail. 2. Medium: DOWNsize of original image to be used as user avatars/icons in forums or profiles.
