A DataPresenter control gives your end users the ability to automatically resize a field by double clicking a field’s resizing indicator. This behavior replicates the column-sizing functionality found in Microsoft® Excel®. Furthermore, just like Excel, your end users can synchronize field sizing by selecting multiple fields and dragging or double clicking a resizing indicator. However, if you enable field selection by setting a FieldSettings object’s LabelClickAction property to SelectField, your end users will not be able to click a field’s header to sort the field.
In addition to your end users auto sizing a field, the DataPresenter controls can automatically resize all fields within a field layout to fit within the bounds of the control. To complement this feature, the DataPresenter controls also allow you to set a field’s width as a percentage using the same star-sizing syntax found in the Grid panel.
