I don't think you can do it with MSFlexGrid. You'll have to get a different Grid control to be able to edit directly in a cell.

Try TrueDBGrid - that's quite neat. It's by ComponentOne - www.componentone.com

Flex grid cells are read only so you cannot edit them without the old floating textbox.

As for auto sizing columns it's not a built in feature but is easy to achieve, you need to use the TextWidth method of a form or picture box to return the length of the text, and then set your column width accordingly (allowing a bit of extra space for the cell padding).

When doing this ensure that the scale mode of your form/picturebox & grid is set the same.
