#Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type Path to BestFitUseErrorInfo
GridView
.OptionsView .BestFitUseErrorInfo

#Remarks

The best fit feature allows you to resize, in code, a column(s) to the minimum width required to display the column’s contents completely, and an end-user to accomplish this at runtime. The GridColumn.BestFit and GridView.BestFitColumns methods invoke the best fit functionality. See these topics to learn more.

You can set the BestFitUseErrorInfo property to True or False to forcibly use or ignore cell error icons when calculating the “best width” for columns. If the BestFitUseErrorInfo property is set to Default, cell error icons are taken into account only if the number of data rows is not greater than 500.
