- autoSizeColumnMode
- DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode
A DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode value that specifies an automatic sizing mode.
- fixedHeight
- Boolean
true to calculate the width of the column based on the current row heights; false to calculate the width with the expectation that the row heights will be adjusted.
Returns
The ideal width, in pixels, of the column.
Exceptions
autoSizeColumnMode is not a valid DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode value.
Remarks
This property is used by the content-based automatic sizing feature of the DataGridView control to determine the ideal width of a column.
A fixedHeight parameter value of false calculates the column width based on calculated row heights that will achieve ideal cell height-to-width ratios. For cell contents to wrap onto multiple lines, the cell style in effect for the cell must have a WrapMode property value of True.
For more information about automatic sizing, see Sizing Options in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.
