ts1.MappingName = "Digitaal"
ts1.ForeColor() = Color.Black
ts1.AlternatingBackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray
ts1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkGray

ts1.HeaderForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black
ts1.LinkColor = System.Drawing.Color.Navy
ts1.SelectionBackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Navy
ts1.SelectionForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.White
//This part sets up the wole datagridstyle
Dim boolCol As New DataGridBoolColumn()
boolCol.MappingName = "State"
boolCol.HeaderText = ""
boolCol.Width = 15
ts1.GridColumnStyles.Add(boolCol)
Dim NameCol As New DataGridTextBoxColumn()
NameCol.MappingName = "Channel"
NameCol.HeaderText = "Chan"
NameCol.Width = 40
ts1.GridColumnStyles.Add(NameCol)

//this part ads the collumn 1 chechbox collumn, and 2 textbox collumns
Private Sub MakeDataSe3t()
myDataSet3 = New DataSet("myDataSet")
Dim cont As New DataTable("Digitaal")
Dim Name As New DataColumn("Name", GetType(String))
Dim Channel As New DataColumn("Channel")
Dim Status As New DataColumn("State", GetType(Boolean))
cont.Columns.Add(Status)

cont.Columns.Add(Channel)
myDataSet3.Tables.Add(cont)
Dim newRow1 As DataRow
For inti = 0 To 15
newRow1 = cont.NewRow()
newRow1("Name") = dchanName(inti + 1)

i don't fill up the grid by coupling it with a database, but fil it like the
above way
what's important, is that you use the correct mappingname to link yourre
dataset to the datatable.
I hope it helped
kind regards Maarten

This grid is populated with a data adapter... IE
With grd_inventory
.SetDataBinding(ds_Work, "Line Summary")
.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Khaki
.CaptionText = "Line Summary"
End With
Can I set the column width's in here somewhere? They don't seem to work
manually.

all the properties of each column.

news:uy**************@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... I'm filling the datagrid with no problem but I do not see a columnwidth
property anywhere. How do you set the columnwidth property of the
datagrid columns in code or manually?
Thank you.
Paul
