Thanks for taking a look.

My method for resizing the grid's width was working fine with 50 rows of data, but it is a bit sluggish with 600+. As I mentioned, I am keeping the grid data in a locally stored array. Then, when a resizing event occurs, I run GridUnload() and rebuild the grid.

It would be ideal if I could simply change the width property of the grid and execute the width sizing method that you are using with ShrinkToFit. Would that be possible?

Thanks,

David

I think that this is possible. I will see what can I do.

Tony,

I have built a page in which the grid width is 100% of the div in which it is contained. (I wrote a method to get the appropriate width when the grid is built, and then simply Unload and rebuild the grid after a resize event.) I would like to have the column resizing impact both columns where it is taking place.

The current behavior of the grid is that only the column to the left changes size. I would like both columns to change size so that one gets larger and the other shrinks by the same amount. In other words, if I click and drag a column resize handle 20px to the right, the left column increases by 20px (which is the current behavior) and the right column reduces by 20px (which does not currently happen).

Thanks,

David
