The SalesLogix GridView control does not offer settings fro controlling the width of columns placed within it during design time. Apparently, the though was the control does such a fine job of auto-sizing the grid that exposing those kind of properties was not needed (It is). There is a way of doing this, though it must be set at run time via code.
If you are using a quickform, you can add code to the Load event similar to this:
myGrid.Columns[0].ItemStyle.Width = 80;
Keep in mind “myGrid” is the name of the GridView control. the “[0]” refers to the column in the grid you wish to adjust. The column collection is zero based, meaning that the first column on the left would be [0], the second would be [1], and so on. Also keep in mind that if you introduce a new column to the grid at some point the column index specified in code like this may no longer be valid.
