Hi all,

I have a Grid in a form which has 2 columns: A & B. I also have a button: C. The grid and the columns are set to "ColumnWidth" property. Column A is auto-declaration to TRUE. How do I set the width of column A in code when I click on Button C? Of course, I know that I need to override the "clicked ()" method of the button and that is where I put the code.

I tried to do something like: SomeStringControl.width(250) or even SomeStringControl.widthValue(100);

Please help.

Hi DJRM, You can set the width and height of any object on the form by setting its AutoDeclaration property = YES and then use it in your code by its name as you did. There is no restriction with the form design it should work with all form designs. However, there might be a case you put your control inside a group and changed width of the control but missed to change the width of group. Try to change width of group if you have any.

Yes. Thanks a lot! As it turns out the user setting for the form was the one causing problems.
