Data Grid Created with GUI

[JulesDBQ]

I created a data grid using the GUI within VB .NET. I would like to manipulate the column widths for some of the columns in this data grid and make them wider. Will I be able to do this since I created it with the GUI and not with code? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes. Everything you do in the GUI is writen in code. Switch to the code view and look for the "Windows Form Designer Generated Code" region. If you expand that you can see all of the components and settings in code.

I should have thought of that. Thanks for the hint. Now for the details of what I need to do to resize the column widths of the grid. Where in the code is that referenced? Do you have any sample snipets of code that would give me a good start. Thanks again.

I >think< the datagrid object has either a columns collection with width properties, or a collection of columnwidths. I can't recall. but it is likely something like:

datagrid.cols(0).width = xxx

or

datagrid.columns(0).width = xxx

or

datagrid.columnwidth(0) = xxx
