Question

I have a form that contains dataGridView, whose coloumn are set to

dgrv1.Width =dgrv1.Columns.GetColumnsWidth(DataGridViewElementStates.Visible)+20;

I want to make the form to automaticaly follow the width of dataGridView…

Also, on maximized, I would like it to grow in height only.

Any sugestions?

Answer 1

Well, you have got a Width value. Set both the MaximumSize and MinimuSize properties of the Form to that value. Maybe with a little margin in between.

Leave the Max/Min Height properties on 0 for default.

Additional:

this gives me a Form that can only be 200 width, but the default ‘0’ for height seems not to work.

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.MinimumSize = new Size(200, 400);
        this.MaximumSize = new Size(200, 1200);

    }
