DefaultColWidth Property

Returns or sets a value representing the default column width.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property DefaultColWidth As Integer
public int DefaultColWidth {get; set;}
Remarks

You can use this property to specify the width that columns will start with when the band or the grid controlled by the specified override is first displayed. Setting this property to 0 will cause the control to use the largest font size specified for the column to determine the column's width. Pictures are not taken into account by the control when calculating the default column width, so large pictures in cells may be clipped when they are displayed.

Setting DefaultColWidth to a value of -1 will cause it to use the value from the next highest object in the override hierarchy.

Example
Following code sets some of the properties available for controlling column sizing.
