Hi

I have a grid where the column widths are dictated by the content. When exported to Excel (ToExcelML) this writes the column widths being diplayed.

e.g.
<Table>
<Column ss:Width="1709" ...

If the width is greater about 1340 (e.g. 1350) Excel errors when it is opened. Is it possible to either prevent this my end or can you put a max value of 1300 if it is being displayed greater than that?

Thanks
Russell Mason

Hi Russell,

Sorry for the late reply! Indeed this is very strange - I've just checked the HTML format and everything worked as expected. Most probably the issue is with ExcelML format in general and my suggestion is to set Width for grid columns explicitly just before exporting to avoid this.

All the best,

I can confirm this issue

It happens with large monitors (I have a 23") and few columns on the grid.

But the workaround of Vlad work fine.

I use this code :

For Each cln As GridViewColumn In fdgv.Columns
    If cln.Width > 1300 Then
        cln.Width = 1300
    End If
Next

Ciao
Simone
