Autofit Columns in JavaScript (ES5) Grid control

24 May 2022 / 1 minute to read

The autoFitColumns method resizes the column to fit the widest cell’s content without wrapping. You can autofit a specific column at initial rendering by invoking the autoFitColumns method in dataBound event.

To use the autoFitColumns method, inject the Resize module in the grid.
