Hi Marty, Just posted a more specific way to do this using the LayoutControl handler of the datagrid's custom behavior. If you're not familiar with setting up custom behaviors:
- go to the Columns tab of the inspector for the datagrid - highlight your column 4 - click the plus sign at the bottom of the inspector tab - close the resulting stack window without making any changes - back in the inspector, make sure your column 4 is still highlighted then click the "Custom Behavior" button to open the script I'm not entirely convinced LayoutControl is the best place for the code but I can't find any reference to a message that is sent when a datagrid column is resized. Hope that makes it more clear Pete Molly's Revenge <http://www.mollysrevenge.com> On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 9:50 AM, Marty Knapp <martykn...@comcast.net> wrote: > Thanks Pete, > I have very limited experience with datagrids.
