I there any way we can automatically adjust the column width when the user double clicks on the splitter in column. Currently the user has to select the splitter and drag in order to size it.

Hello,

 We believe that this is supported by default. You can try for example resize/auto adjust on this demo:

mirang is right, it seems that this doesn't work if the ColumnWidth is set to * rather than auto. I'm using WPF but the behavior seems to be the same. Is there no way to hook the divider double click event so that I can programmatically change the column width to Auto? Strange that this doesn't work by default.

Hello Cody,

You can use the ColumnWidthChanging event to achieve your goal. It will be raised when the user resizes a given column through the UI. Can you please check it out?
