Hi,

I've been trying to make a function that will automatically size the columns in a GridCtrl based on their contents. So far I have




void CUtils::AutoSizeGrid(GridCtrl& grid)
{
	intArray sizes;
	sizes.SetCount(grid.GetColumnCount(),0);
	
	int rows = grid.GetRowCount();
	
	Font font = GetStdFont();
	font.Bold();
	
	for(int i=0;i<rows;i++)
	{
		for(int j=0;j<sizes.GetCount();j++)
		{
			String s = grid.Get(i,j).ToString();
			Size sz = GetTextSize(s,font);
			sizes[j] = max(sizes[j],sz.cx);
		}
	}
	
	grid.Ready(false);
	for(int j=0;j<sizes.GetCount();j++)
	{
//		grid.SetColWidth(j,sizes[j]);	
		grid.GetColumn(j).Width((5*sizes[j])/4);	
	}
	grid.Ready(true);
}


but it seems that StdFont is not the right font and the fnt member of the column is private.

Obviously I think that GridCtrl should have an Autosize function (not setting) to do this on command but failing that, is there a good way to get the size of the column contents without deriving my own class from GridCtrl?

Thanks,

Nick
