How to keep columns for being adjustable
I have setup a grid using the following code. Cant figure out how to keep the columns from having there width changed by the user. I want to keep the fixed width size and not allow users to change it. Thanks in advance.
Private Function SetupGridHeader()

I'm erroring out on on this line
New Point(e.X,e.Y))

Here is a method for doing it column by column. Using column table and column styles.
(You have to set up table and column styles explicitly on the grid)
Private Sub myInitializer()
Dim col As DataGridColumnStyle
For Each col In Me.DataGrid1.TableStyles(0
AddHandler col.WidthChanged, AddressOf datagrid1_widthChanged
Next
End Sub
Private Sub datagrid1_widthChanged(ByV
Select Case CType(sender, DataGridColumnStyle).Mappi
Case "col1"
CType(sender, DataGridColumnStyle).Width
End Select
End Sub

Private Sub datagrid1_widthChanged(ByV

End Sub
Can you checkthis code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseDown(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.Mouse
Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = Me.HitTest(New Point(e.X,e.Y)) 'DataGrid should be your datagrid name
If hti.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.Colum
Return 'no baseclass call
End If
MyBase.OnMouseDown(e)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseDown(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.Mouse
Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = Me.HitTest(New Point(e.X,e.Y)) 'DataGrid should be your datagrid name
If hti.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.Colum
Return 'no baseclass call
End If
MyBase.OnMouseDown(e)
End Sub
Note, if you are using the below lines of code:
Inherits DataGrid should be Inherits YourDataGrid.

Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseMove(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.Mouse

MyBase.OnMouseMove(e)

If you include this class, then you would need to redo 2 lines in the windows generated code as follows:
Friend WithEvents DataGrid1 As dataGridNoResize
and
Me.DataGrid1 = New dataGridNoResize
Friend WithEvents DataGrid1 As dataGridNoResize
and
Me.DataGrid1 = New dataGridNoResize

I provided two solutions. The latter was an assist to mani-sai's solution.
