Child Elements
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| AutoSize Element for WideControl | Optional element. Specifies whether the column size and the number of columns are adjusted based on the size of the data. |
| ColumnNumber Element for WideControl | Optional element. Specifies the number of columns displayed in the wide view. |
| WideEntries Element | Required element. Provides the definitions of the wide view. |

Remarks
When defining a wide view, you can add the AutoSize element or the ColumnNumber but you cannot
add both.
In most cases, only one definition is required for each wide view, but it is possible to have multiple definitions if you want to use the same view to display different .NET objects. In those cases, you can provide a separate definition for each object or set of objects.
For more information about the components of a wide view, see Wide View Components.
Example
The following example shows a WideControl element that is used to display a property of the System.Diagnostics.Process object.

<Name>process</Name>
<ViewSelectedBy>
<TypeName>System.Diagnostics.Process</TypeName>
</ViewSelectedBy>
<WideControl>
<WideEntries>...</WideEntries>
