    TreeListColumn.GetHeaderBestWidth() Method

    Returns the column header width that allows the content to be displayed in its entirety.

    Namespace: DevExpress.XtraTreeList.Columns

    Assembly: DevExpress.XtraTreeList.v25.1.dll

    NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Navigation, DevExpress.Win.TreeList

    #Declaration

    public int GetHeaderBestWidth()

    #Returns

    Type Description
    Int32

    An integer value that specifies the width.

    #Remarks

    The TreeListColumn.GetHeaderBestWidth and TreeList.GetColumnHeaderBestWidth(TreeListColumn) methods return the header width that allows the header content to be displayed in its entirety. For example, since different skins may have different optimal header widths, you can use these methods to recalculate a column’s width when the current skin changes.

    #Example

    The code below shows how to automatically update the column width when look and feel settings change.

    treeList1.LookAndFeel.StyleChanged += LookAndFeel_StyleChanged;
    
    private void LookAndFeel_StyleChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        treeListColumn1.Width = treeListColumn1.GetHeaderBestWidth();
        //treeListColumn1.Width = treeList1.GetColumnHeaderBestWidth(treeListColumn1);
    }
