Hey guys,

I am dynamically building a datagridview and above each of the columns there is going to be a combobox which allow the datagridview to be filtered. The columns of the datagridview are going to be resizeable and so i need the combobox's above each column to resize as well. I can do this programatically but i wanted to use Data binding, my thoughts were it was really basic and here are the lines to do it....

ComboBox theFilter;

DataGridViewTextBoxColumn theColumn = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();

theFilter.DataBindings.Add("Width", theColumn, "Width");

If you can please tell me why this isn't working that would be great. What i have noticed is:

1. If i set the column.width = x, then the combobox will resize only once i leave clicked in the combobox and leave it.

2. If i resize the column by clicking on the column divider and dragging it when i click in the combobox and leave it the column resizes.

Cheers

It seems that no events are raised on the column when the Width property is changed, so the databinding doesn't work (it just responds to a PropertyChanged event). However, you can handle the ColumnWidthChanged event on the DataGridView and change the width of your ComboBox manually with just a few lines of code.

This is the first time doing a project in.netand i understand the concept behind data binding but just wanted to use it. I am currently resizing it manually with a few lines of code.

Cheers though
