Examples

The following code example sets the minimum width of a column. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the DataGridViewColumn class.

//Set the minimum width.
void Button4_Click( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
   DataGridViewColumn^ column = dataGridView->Columns[ 1 ];
   column->MinimumWidth = 40;
}
//Set the minimum width.
private void Button4_Click(object sender,
    System.EventArgs e)
{
    DataGridViewColumn column = dataGridView.Columns[1];
    column.MinimumWidth = 40;
}
'Set the minimum width.
Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click

    Dim column As DataGridViewColumn = dataGridView.Columns(1)
    column.MinimumWidth = 40
End Sub

Remarks

The MinimumWidth property sets a limit on how narrow the column can be resized in the user interface (UI). The Width property can override the MinimumWidth property.
