DataGrid Autoformat Column Width?

[WillieJoe]

Good Morning,

Is there any way the Datagrid can be set to "autoformat"
the width of each column to the largest row entry.

If so - is this dynamic at runtime (meaning if a new row
is added by a user with a larger column width, the column
width is automatically increased)?

Seems like by default, each column width is the width of
the datagrid/# of columns.

Any help would be greatly appreciated (pretty new at
this!!)

Thanks again,
Willie

There is no automatic formatting, all columns are created equal. You can
create a custom GridStyle which sets up the widths.

There is no direct way to determine the longest string value, but you could
use System.Drawing.Graphics.MeasureString to determine the length in pixels
of a specific piece of text and use this to set the column width.
