Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property ActualWidth As Double

'Usage
 
Dim instance As ColumnBase
Dim value As Double
 
value = instance.ActualWidth

public double ActualWidth {get;}

Property Value

A value indicating the actual width of the column, in device-independent units (1/96th inch per unit). By default, 125.0d.

Remarks

Along with the Width property, the MinWidth and MaxWidth properties can be used to specify width information. If there is a conflict between these values, the order of application for actual width determination is first MinWidth must be honored, then MaxWidth, and finally if each of these are within bounds, Width.

In order for a column to have a fixed size, the MinWidth and MaxWidth properties must be set to the same value.

If Width is set to a value greater than MaxWidth, ActualWidth will be equal to MaxWidth. If Width is set to a value lesser than MinWidth or, if MaxWidth is inferior to MinWidth ActualWidth will become equal to MinWidth.

The return value of this property is always the same as any value that was set to it. In contrast, the value of the ActualWidth property may vary if the suggested width has been rejected by the layout.
