I am using a GridView control to display data but have run into a couple of problems. First, I would like to have two heading lines with the top heading line overlapping multiple column headings. Since it appears this can't be done with the GridView control I decided to create a table immediately above the GridView control for the overlapping headings. Now, the problem I'm having is that I can't control the width of the columns in the GridView control. I have altered the column width, item width, header width, and footer width properties for the columns and these work while in display mode. However, when I execute the code the columns revert to width of the widest data field. How can I control column width at execution?

While I'm sure Microsoft are more than happy with the way their grid works, I'm not! You either have to sit and write hundreds of code lines to get a simple task to work, or you give up and purchase a 3rd party alternative. Have a look for ComponentOne. Great kit.

Cheers,

Hi,
You need to set the Column width of each column in a table at runtime.
For setting the column width you have to make some calculation also.
First get the column width of Datagrid column at runtime and calculate and set the column width of table column.
