Problem

How can I make column widths relative to the size of the grid? In other words, they should increase/decrease as the view size is changed.

Cause

Action

You could override GetColWidth( ), e.g. if you have five columns:

int CYourGrid::GetColWith(ROWCOL nCol)
{
CRect rect = GetGridRect( );
return rect.Width( )/5;
}

So, when the grid size changes all column width will change automatically.
