ColumnSizingArea Property

Returns or sets a value that determines which part of the grid's interface may be used to resize columns.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property ColumnSizingArea As ColumnSizingArea
public ColumnSizingArea ColumnSizingArea {get; set;}
Remarks

If column resizing is enabled (as determined by the AllowColSizing property) the user can resize columns using the mouse. Resizing is always accomplished by clicking on the right edge of the column and dragging the mouse. The ColumnSizingArea property specifies which part of the column responds to the mouse pointer to initiate resizing of the column. You can choose to have just the column headers, just the borders of the column cells, or both be active for column resizing. When the mouse pointer passes over the active area of the column, the cursor changes to a resizing cursor.

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

Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.Click
