Excellent. Glad you finally got it working. :)

Hi Mike!

Looks that the creation filter you send me works!

Thanks for the help! And again, for your patience.

No problem. Let me know how it goes. 

Hi again and sorry for the time jumps. I am travelling a lot.

I thought you were trying to position a label or some other control on top of the UltraPivotGrid, in which case, the CreationFilter would actually work. The code I have here will fire any time the RowDropAreaUIElement gets positioned, so you could use that position to place some other control if that's what you want. 

Yes, that is what we want. I haven't had time for trying again the creation filter. I'll try it this week and tell you if it works.

As I was trying to explain initially... in order to help you with this, I really need to know what you are trying to do with this information. Why do you want the width of this element? What are you trying to use it for?

If you want to use the Paint event, or after-draw, then you could could use a DrawFilter or derive a control from the PivotGrid and then override OnPaint and then do whatever you want to do after you call the base implementation. 

But there are really too many possibilities here for me to help you intelligently without know what you are trying to do.
