How to set the column width of the WinForms GridGroupingControl?

Column width

The column width for the WinForms GridGroupingControl can be set by using the TableDescriptor.Columns[index].Width property. The column width can also be set by using the TablModel.QueryColWidth event handler.

By using the GridColumnDescriptor:

In the given code example, the column width is set for the second column.

//Sets the column width by using the Columns.Width property of the TableDescriptor.
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[1].Width = 200;

'Sets the column width by using the Columns.Width property of the TableDescriptor.
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns(1).Width = 200

By using the QueryColWidth Event:

In the following event handler, the column width of the GridGroupingControl is set for the third column.

//Hooks the event in the Form_Load to set the colwidth for the Grid.
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.QueryColWidth += TableModel_QueryColWidth;

void TableModel_QueryColWidth(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridRowColSizeEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Index ==3)
   {
      //Sets the column width.
      e.Size = 200;
      e.Handled = true;
   }
}

' Hooks the event in the Form_Load to set the column width for the Grid
AddHandler Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.QueryColWidth, AddressOf TableModel_QueryColWidth

Private Sub TableModel_QueryColWidth(sender As Object, e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridRowColSizeEventArgs)
    If e.Index = 3 Then
        ' Sets the column width
        e.Size = 200
        e.Handled = True
    End If
End Sub

The following screenshot displays the column width set for the GridGroupingControl.

Note:

In the GridColumnDescriptor, it takes the column in a zero-based index, whereas in the QueryColWidth event, e.Index takes the column index from one.
