Assuming you can't make the grid wider, or the first 11 columns narrower, you can programmatically scroll the grid using its .DoScroll() method.

Another approach I've used is to selectively make grid columns Visible or not Visible. If you have a lot of grid columns, it may be that the user is not always interested in seeing all of them at once. I've sometimes used checkboxes associated with the grid, with captions like "Show columns 2 - 6", "Show columns 7 - 11" etc. Of course you'd use something more meaningful in your real application. When those checkboxes are checked/unchecked, their associated columns become visible or invisible.

If you have a lot of columns and the user really does need to see them all at once, you might be better off having only a few important columns in the grid, and display the other columns in separate controls/fields next to the grid.
