If you specify a custom filter on each column, you can include the size of the input box.

<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
	'id'=>'properties-grid',
	'dataProvider'=>$model->search(),
	'filter'=>$model,
        'columns'=>array(
		'ref',
		array(
                    'name'=>'type1',
                    'filter'=> CHtml::textField('type1',$model->type1,array('size'=>10)),
                    ),
	 ............

At least use headerHtmlOptions when setting column specific settings, you don't need to set the width for each and every td.

This really is more of a html problem than a CGridView problem. What you need is the table-layout:fixed; rule in your table tag, and overflow with a with rule in your td tag.

Neither of these worked for me...

At least solved by adding max-wdith to css in assets\ff2aa0ca\gridview\style.css

grid-view table.items th, .grid-view table.items td
{
	font-size: 0.9em;
	border: 1px white solid;
	padding: 0.3em;

	max-width: 115px;
}

I need to figure out how to add a class to each individual filter textbox to let this resizing work.

Excuse my English.

I had the same problem. Using htmlOptions in grid helped only for columns without filter field.
I tried in my styles.css:

.grid-view table.items tr.filters td 
{
  width: 50px;
}

And it helped.
- I use bootstrap.widgets.TbGridView
- no width in 'htmlOptions' in Grid
- and 50px is minimum width of columns, real width depends propably on lenght of data. If I want more px, then I use width in 'htmlOptions'.

'htmlOptions'=>array('style'=>'width:100px;'),
