Hi,

You will have to experiment with sizes for your data however
here is some code for you to play with some of the size properties.

Remember to set the TOP and LEFT in your properties window AND
in your code so the DataGrid doesn't physically move.

    Private Sub DataGrid1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.Click
        Dim mySize As System.Drawing.Size
        'Set a size of 200 by 200.
        mySize.Height = 200
        mySize.Width = 200
        DataGrid1.Size = mySize
        'Set the column width and height in pixels.
        DataGrid1.PreferredColumnWidth = 20
        DataGrid1.PreferredRowHeight = 20
        'Scale the DataGrid.
        DataGrid1.Scale(1.2)
        'or use two numbers to scale it by width and height.
        DataGrid1.Scale(1.2, 1.5)
        'Keep the top and left at 100 pixels down and from the left.
        DataGrid1.Top = 100
        DataGrid1.Left = 100
    End Sub

I've just thought, as it is the text mostly that changes then you
could use a scrollbar to scale the width of the DataGrid, or as well as the column width only.
Use the following with a scrollbar just above or below your DataGrid,
however you like it.>>

   Private Sub HScrollBar1_Scroll(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ScrollEventArgs) Handles HScrollBar1.Scroll

        Dim mySize As System.Drawing.Size
        HScrollBar1.Minimum = 1
        HScrollBar1.Maximum = 500
        Dim myVal As Integer
        myVal = HScrollBar1.Value
        mySize.Width = myVal
        DataGrid1.Width = myVal
        DataGrid1.Top = 100
        DataGrid1.Left = 100

    End Sub

You could add a 2nd scrollbar to adjust the
height using a VscrollBar in a similiar way.

Another Hscrollbar could adjust the columnWidth.
