actually, when I implemented this function, it didn't work at all. &nbsp;Literally, it chose completely wrong values for column width, cutting everything off.<br />

I'm posting to the author to see what I'm doing wrong.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I would like my Flex 3 DataGrid's columns to have a width that is equal to the width of the longest element in that column. &nbsp; For example, an &quot;id&quot; column may have a width of 10 while a &quot;description&quot; column may have a length of 300... &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
But, I want the datagrid to figure it out automatically based on the width it would need to be so that the contents of each column are fully shown.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

Hi,

I would like my Flex 3 DataGrid's columns to have a width that is equal to the width of the longest element in that column.   For example, an "id" column may have a width of 10 while a "description" column may have a length of 300...    

But, I want the datagrid to figure it out automatically based on the width it would need to be so that the contents of each column are fully shown.

Any ideas?

How can I make the columns of a flex datagrid resize to fit the content.
