disable character spacing on changing colwidth

[Markus Kraft]

Hi,
is it possible to turn off the character spacing (at the left or right end of the cell) when the columnwitdh is manually changed?

My gridboundcolumn is initialized as follows:
gbc.StyleInfo.AutoSize = false;
gbc.StyleInfo.HorizontalAlignment = GridHorizontalAlignment.Left;
gbc.StyleInfo.Trimming = System.Drawing.StringTrimming.Character;

Not sure if I fully understand. You could handle the ColumnResizing event and when the "reason" event argument is MouseDown set
gbc.StyleInfo.TextMargins.Left = 0;
gbc.StyleInfo.TextMargins.Right = 0;
RefreshRange(gridRangeInfo.Col(colIndex));

Check out the GridModel.PrepareGraphics event. It lets you customize the graphics context before a grid control draws to it.

For example:
e.Graphics.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.ClearTypeGridFit;

You should also try SingleBitPerPixel.

Check out also the following article for some background information why GDI+ does render text differently depending on the text size:
