I have a grid with ColumnAutoWidth=True. It contains several text columns that I want to dynamically expand in width to fill the available grid width. However, for the columns displaying currency data I would like to specify a "MaxWidth" value so that they do NOT expand beyond a certain width. I know I can achieve this by making them "FixedWidth" but this does not allow them to shrink at all. Is there some way to do this?
Proposed Solution:
Please see the attached sample.

It's been more than 2 years since I first posted this request and it still hasn't been implemented. Is there really any plan to do it?
Hello David,
Thank you for the response. I'm afraid, this feature won't be implemented in the near future. Our developers are implementing new features based upon the number of votes. Unfortunately, there are only a few customers who asked for this functionality. So, we'll implement this feature, if we receive more requests for it. However, you can introduce the required functionality yourself by creating your own XtraGrid descendant as demonstrated in the attached sample project.
Please let me know if this solution meets your requirements.
Thanks,
Stan.
The following property has been added:
GridColumn.MaxWidth;
