You have the dataWidth of the polygrid for the formattedWidth of the
widget (to be wide enough to display all data), but what I think you
want is some equivalent of the fomattedWidth of each column. I don't
believe any such property exists in the polygrid. It would be like
setting the columnWidth of a column to 'auto' or something like that,
which would be a nice feature enhancement, but doesn't exists currently.
You're welcome to file a feature enhancement. I'd definitely +1 it.
You would have to roll your own, probably using the
"measureText(text,objectReference,[mode])" function. You would need to
iterate through all the rows of data and find the longest string (in px)
for each column via measureText and then set the columnWidths of the
polygrid to that set of column widths. I am also not sure if measureText
can use a widget as an object reference, so, if not, you may need a
hidden field/button as teh object reference set to the same font and
size as the polygrid.
Anyway, that's how I would try to solve this :-)

i've got a polygrid. now, i want to set the column widths to the equivalent
maximum formatted widths, because...this is being used as part of an ad hoc
query tool.
did i miss something? i don't see an equivalent property
