Question

Answer 1

You could either set the ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.WrapMode to DataGridViewTriState.False as the other answers already proposed

or

you could replace the spaces \s in your header string with non-breakable spaces \u00A0. The second solution has the benefit that you could set manual line breaks using \n in your header string and avoid auto wrapping. E.g.:

+----------------------------------------------+
| A\u00A0very\u00A0long\u00A0first\u00A0Line\n |
| A\u00A0second\u00A0very\u00A0long\u00A0line  |
+----------------------------------------------+

The first solution is not allowing manual line breaks (everything is one line).
