Solution 1

Hi,
you might try subscribing to CellBeginEdit event, and expand it dynamically. It kind of an ugly solution, but I do not see other way of doing it.

Solution 2

Catch the appropriate event on the cell, measure the current text, resize the column by assigning to its Width property.

For the first part (which is harder than it should be), see here[^] or other things Google will find you.
