SYMPTOMS
If the Size property of the Font object belonging to a Microsoft Grid control is adjusted, the cell size containing that font does not change.



RESOLUTION
Rather than changing the size of the Font member object this way: Grid1.Font.Size = 10 use the FontSize property, which is a property of the Grid object. For example: Grid1.FontSize = 10 When the latter method is used, the cell size changes as the font size is adjusted.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be an issue in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. Microsoft is researching this issue and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



Steps to Reproduce Problem
 Start a new project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default. Place a Microsoft Grid control on Form1.  In the Load event of Form1, place the following code: Private Sub Form_Load Grid1.Text = "Hello" End Sub   In the Click event for the form, place the following code: Private Sub Form_Click Grid1.Font.Size = Grid1.Font.Size + 4 End Sub  Run the project by pressing the F5 key. Click the form and note that the font in the first cell gets bigger, but the cell does not change size.</ol>

To implement the workaround, change the code in the Click event of the form to: Private Sub Form_Click Grid1.FontSize = Grid1.FontSize + 4 End Sub The cells grow as the font grows each time the form is clicked.
