hellp datagrid/dataset columns

is there a way to set a column in a datagrid to a size and not wrap text nor
expand the column to allow the all the items in that cell to be seen. I want
the string in that dataset to be cut short if the string is too long for the
cell?

Hi Darren:

If I understand you correctlyk You can specify the width of your column's if
you use a DataGridTableStyle and a DataGridCOlumnStyle. Just set the column
width to the point where it will cut off.
