This property is used by the content-based automatic sizing feature of the DataGridView control to determine the ideal width of a column.
A fixedHeight parameter value of false calculates the column width based on calculated row heights that will achieve ideal cell height-to-width ratios. For cell contents to wrap onto multiple lines, the cell style in effect for the cell must have a WrapMode property value of True.
For more information about automatic sizing, see Sizing Options in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.
