Solution 1

For Width -> DataGrid.Columns(n).Width = 1200

For Aligning -> Since I don't have visual basic 6.0 on my system, I am unable to remember that.

Solution 2

Doesn't this work?!

VB

DataGrid1.Columns(0).Alignment = dbgCenter
DataGrid1.Columns(0).Alignment = dbgRight

You can try this workaround for alignment of column header.

VB

Dim W As Long
Dim SpaceWidth As Long
Dim NumOfSpaces As Long
Dim ColumnHeaderText As String
ColumnHeaderText = "Hello"
With DataGrid1
  SpaceWidth = Me.TextWidth(" ")
  W = .Columns(1).Width
  NumOfSpaces = (W - Me.TextWidth(ColumnHeaderText)) \ SpaceWidth \ 2
  .Columns(1).Caption = Space$(NumOfSpaces) & ColumnHeaderText
End With

This is what I found on the first link of Google[^].
