Autofit() plus a bit 1

[David Higgs]

When using Autofit() within a Grid Column set to Align Left, I find that the Column could do with being a little wider especially on the right hand side. To get over this I have used the following code:-

	this.column3.autofit()
this.column3.Width = this.column3.width+5

which to me looks a lot better than just Autofit(). Is this the right way to go or is there a more elegent way of doing the same?

Hi David,

For what it's worth, I've had the same problem, and your solution is exactly how I have solved it. I don't know if there is a better way, but the way you have shown works fine for me.

Skip,
You're standing too close to the unlit burner.

David,
I think this is the first time I've ever starred a question. Because the solution you have for it so useful!
