Hi all

I have a DataGridView in a GroupBox in a winform

This DataGridView has a fix number of 4 rows and 50 columns

The DataGridView is bound to a DataTable.

The 1st column is the sequential number of the row

I want the height of the rows to be resized automatically as i resize the winform

I also want the width of the columns to resize automatically as i resize the winform but here i wish that the 1st column will take only the place it needs and not that the width of all the columns to be the same

Thanks very much!

What I have tried:

I have tried manipulation of the AutoSizeRows/Columns properties

Here is an overview of available options: Sizing Options in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control | Microsoft Docs[^]

Here is a rather dated article that might give you some inspiration: Resizing Data Grid Columns To Content[^]

Or you could try a custom grid like these:
A fast and simple DataGridView analogue[^]
A Much Easier to Use ListView[^]
