Grid Column Width Units

Hi -
Is there a way to get the measure of the gridcontrol's column widths in absolute length units like points (pt) or inches (in) instead of pixels?
Thanks,
Julie

Hi Julie,

By default, The colwidth is in pixels. If you want to get the colwidth in inch, you can use graphics.DpiX property to covert the colwidth in inch. Below is a code snippet to show this.

private double GetColWidthInches(GridControl grid, int ColIndex)
{
int pixelWidth = grid.GetColWidth(ColIndex);
Graphics g = grid.CreateGridGraphics();//Disposed automatically.
double InchWidth = pixelWidth/g.DpiX;
return InchWidth;
}

If you want to get the cell bounds in a grid, you can use the Renderer.GetCellBoundsCore method. Here is a code snippet.

private Rectangle GetColRectangle(GridControl grid, int ColIndex)
{
Rectangle originalInvertBarBounds = grid.GetCellRenderer(0,ColIndex).GetCellBoundsCore(0,ColIndex);
return originalInvertBarBounds;
}
