Column Width

[rubenhak]

Hi,

I'm using ASP.NET Ajax RadGrid. Is there a way to specify the column width programmatically from the code behind?

I need store column widths on the server side or cookies and further load those values, so the next time user opens the web page he get same columns size.

Thanks,

Ruben.

you can use the column created event to specify the widths programmatically

VB.NET

 Protected Sub RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridColumnCreatedEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ColumnCreated
  If e.Column.UniqueName = "BirthDate" Then
    Dim boundColumn As GridBoundColumn = CType(e.Column, GridBoundColumn)
    boundColumn.HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(100)
    End If
End Sub 'RadGrid1_ColumnCreated

Erwin,

I tried that and it does not make any difference. Column widths do not pick up the value i specify in ColumnCreated event. Also the widths are recalculated evenly when i change the side of the browser. Any ideas what is wrong with my grid?

Thanks,

Ruben.

Hi,

Try setting the TableLayout="Fixed" for the MasterableView and set the widths in the ColumnCreated event . To know more on how to save column widths on a per user basis ,have a look at the link  Saving grid settings on a per user basis
