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.

csharp
treeList1.LookAndFeel.StyleChanged += LookAndFeel_StyleChanged;

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

Private Sub LookAndFeel_StyleChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    treeListColumn1.Width = treeListColumn1.GetHeaderBestWidth()
    'treeListColumn1.Width = treeList1.GetColumnHeaderBestWidth(treeListColumn1)
End Sub
