I understand and I can’t explain how yours works differently than mine did. I can only report that it behaved the way I expected (with word wrapping causing the caption to expand) with the older version. Since you can’t report it as an issue, can you pass along a request to change the behavior for a future version? Automatically word wrapping is completely useless if you have to manually change the caption height to account for it. After all, if columns are user-resizable it’s completely reasonable to expect that a user would resize the column in such a fashion as to change the number of lines of wrapped text. But if the caption height isn’t changed, some of the text will now be out of sight (if the user narrowed one or more columns) or the caption row will have a bunch of blank space at the bottom (if the user widened one or more columns), which is unsightly and unprofessional looking.
I’m sorry to say that the more I work with the True DB Grid, the more I regret starting with it – things like this crop up, it’s difficult overall to work with, it doesn’t seem to work properly with ComponentOne’s theming engine (as opposed to the visual styles) and it doesn’t always “play nice” with Visual Studio (across multiple versions). It’s a real shame because I’m pretty happy with the rest of the WinForms and WPF controls that I use for my organization.
