Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to have the columns in an AdvancedDatagrid expanded by default? At the moment part of my headers are been cut of:

For example: Price tar…

I want the columns to be expanded by default so that the full header name on all the columns are displayed! Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,  
Derm

I haven’t used these at all, but just a suggestion, have you tried looping through all the columns and expanding them programatically after your grid loads?
