Sets the width in pixels for the specified column on this sheet.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Sub SetColumnWidth( _
   ByVal column As Integer, _
   ByVal value As Integer _
)

'Usage
 
Dim instance As SheetView
Dim column As Integer
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.SetColumnWidth(column, value)

public void SetColumnWidth( 
   int column,
   int value
)

Parameters

column: Column index
value: Width in pixels

Remarks

This is equivalent to the SheetView.SetColumnWidth method. For more information on setting the size of the column, refer to Setting the Row Height or Column Width.

Column widths can be based on the data in the cells using the GetPreferredWidth method or SheetView.GetPreferredColumnWidth method. For more information, see Resizing the Row and Column to Fit the Data.

You can allow users to resize columns by setting the Resizable property. If the user is allowed to resize columns, when the user resizes a column, the FpSpread.ColumnWidthChanged and SheetView.ColumnChanged events occur.

Example

This example illustrates the use of this member by returning the width for the specified column.

fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetColumnWidth(0, 120); 
int i;
i = fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.GetColumnWidth(0);
listBox1.Items.Add(i.ToString());

Visual Basic

FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetColumnWidth(0, 120)
Dim i As Integer
i = FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.GetColumnWidth(0)
ListBox1.Items.Add(i.ToString())
