Remarks

To specify the width for a column, use the SetColumnWidth method.

Note: The value returned by the this method does not include the width of the adjacent grid line.

To see the height for a row, use the GetRowHeight method.

Example

This example creates a SheetView object and a Column object. Values are inserted into the second column and the column width is adjusted so all of the text is visible. The width of the column is returned to a list box using the SheetView object.

C#
Visual Basic

FarPoint.Web.Spread.SheetView sv=FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView;
FarPoint.Web.Spread.Column mycol;
mycol=sv.Columns[1];
mycol.Width=160;
sv.SetValue(0,1,"Tire/WheelAlignment");
sv.SetValue(1,1,"FuelInjectorsCleaned");
sv.SetValue(2,1,"BrakesAdjusted");
ListBox1.Items.Add(Convert.ToString(sv.GetColumnWidth(1)));

Dim sv As FarPoint.Web.Spread.SheetView
