I have a TStringGrid and I'd like to auto-fit the columns to their
content. Like Excel's capability.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
tim
 

Just use a looping system, like this :
/* Untested Code */
int Col, Row, ColCount, RowCount, MaxLen, TempLen;
ColCount = StringGrid1->ColCount;
RowCount = StringGrid1->RowCount;
for(Col=0;Col<ColCount;Col++){
MaxLen = 0;
for(Row=0;Row<RowCount;Row++){
TempLen = StringGrid1->Cells[Col][Row].Length();
if(TempLen>MaxLen)
MaxLen = TempLen;
}
if(MaxLen == 0){
// Reset to default size;
StringGrid->ColWidths[Col] = 50;
}else{
// Set to largest string size.
StringGrid->ColWidths[Col] = Canvas->TextWidth("O") * MaxLen + 5;
}
}
Hope this helps.

Perfect.
I'm sad to say I didn't think about the correspondence between the
cell's AnsiString length and the column size. At any rate, this worked
almost straight cut and paste (obvious name changes to protect the
innocent).
Thanks for the time and effort.
cheers,
tim
