autoWidth(optional) enables/disables the ability of a column to adjust its size to the size of TreeGrid

Also note:
  • If autoWidth is set for a column, the width of the column is calculated on the base of the sizes of the container of the treegrid and the values of the minWidth/maxWidth properties if they are set for the column.
  • The property is ignored if the adjust property is used.
  • If the width property is specified in the configuration object of a column, the autoWidth property won't work for this column.
  • header(required) an array of objects with header rows configuration. Each header object may include:
    • text - (optional) the text of a header
    • tooltip - (optional) enables/disables the header tooltip
