DataAutoSizeColumns Property

Gets or sets whether a bound sheet automatically sizes its columns based on the data in the associated database fields.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property DataAutoSizeColumns As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As SheetView
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.DataAutoSizeColumns = value
 
value = instance.DataAutoSizeColumns

public bool DataAutoSizeColumns {get; set;}

Property Value

Boolean: true if columns are sized automatically; false otherwise

Remarks

The width of the column is based on the data type of the field rather than the actual data in the column. Use GetPreferredColumnWidth to get the width of the widest text string in the column.

If the SpreadScaleMode property is set to ZoomDpiSupport and DataAutoSizeColumns is false, columns and rows may be resized.

Example

This example sets whether the column size is automatically set based on the data in the database.

string conStr = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;data source= " + Application.StartupPath + "\\Patients2000.mdb";
string sqlStr = "SELECT * FROM Patients"; 
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection conn  = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(conStr); 
DataSet ds = new DataSet(); 
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter da = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sqlStr, conn);
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.DataAutoSizeColumns = true; 
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.DataMember = "Patients"; 
da.Fill(ds); 
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.DataSource = ds;

Visual Basic

Dim conStr As String = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;data source= " & Application.StartupPath & "\Patients2000.mdb"
Dim sqlStr As String = "SELECT * FROM Patients"
Dim conn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(conStr)
Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet()
Dim da As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sqlStr, conn)
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.DataAutoSizeColumns = True
