Hi Caleb,

Well... it seems to me like what you really want here is to AutoFit the columns, but also make sure that the column's minimum width doesn't fall below the width necessary to fit the contents.

When you think about it like that, I think it should be pretty simple. What you do is AutoSize each column and then set the MinWidth on that column to the calculated auto-size. Then when you set AutoFitStyle, that setting resize the columns bigger if it can, but it will not be able to make the columns smaller than the minimum and so you will get a scrollbar when needed.

I tried it out in a simple sample and it seems to work.

        private void ultraGrid1_InitializeLayout(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.InitializeLayoutEventArgs e)
        {
            var layout = e.Layout;
            var band = layout.Bands[0];
            foreach (var column in band.Columns)
            {
                column.PerformAutoResize(PerformAutoSizeType.AllRowsInBand, AutoResizeColumnWidthOptions.All);
                column.MinWidth = column.Width;
            }
            layout.AutoFitStyle = AutoFitStyle.ResizeAllColumns;
        }
