By default, the MaxColumnWidth property is -1. While negative, there is no upper limit, so the MaxColumnWidth property has no effect. The Mode property indicates the mode the control displays the cascade columns. The DefColumnWidth property specifies the width to create a new cascade column. The FitCascadeColumns property retrieves or sets a value that indicates the number of cascading columns to fit. The FitToClient method resizes or/and moves the all cascade columns to fit the control's client area.

The following properties can be used to limit / range the width of each cascade columns:

• The MinColumnWidth property specifies the minimum width for any cascade column.

• The MaxColumnWidth property specifies the maximum width for any cascade column.
