>>>I have a grid which i set the HeaderHeight property to Zero and the Header Wordwrap property to true. It looks perfect at design time time but goes fubar at runtime. My first thought was that the grid was being destroyed somehow and reconstructing, but i keep disabusing my self of that notion. I don't seem to be able to work it out. Some light in the darkness would be greatly appreciated.
