Gridview columns resize

[Kristof]

Hi,

when I set the columns in a gridview to autosize, initialy everything looks fine. But when the form and thus the grid is resized, the most right columns starts growing and will eventually be the only visible column.
This also applies when the grid is not resized but redrawn. It seems there's something wrong with the calcualtion of the column widths. Is this a known issue?

Thank you for reporting this.

Yes, this is a well known issue and it is already fixed in the latest Q1 2007 SP2 release of our controls.

I've just installed SP2 and I am having the same issue.  Was this fixed in Q1 2007 SP2?  My referenced DLL are as follows:

Telerik.WinControls.GridView
Runtime Version: v2.0.50727
Version: 3.5.0.0

Thank you,
Frank

Hello fgalarraga,

Sorry for the inconvenience, but we cannot reproduce this problem with the SP2 release. Will it be possible to send us your test project? It is possible that we are missing something, so we would like to check your exact case. Thanks in advance.

Found a work around but is this the best solution?

Thank you,

'Resize column width for best fit

Hello fgalarraga,

Yes, this workaround will do the job for the moment. With Q2 2007 there will be no need of using it and you may mark it as a temporary fix.
 

Best wishes,

Hi -

First, how do you set columns in gridview to autosize?  I cannot seem to find any radgridview property for this.

Second, BestFit is not a member of Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewColumn, so that does not work either.  I am using the current release 8.1.0.0 (1204)

I would like my columns to automatically resize to fit the contents of the cells.

Thanks,
JB

Hello John,

Thank you for contacting us.

You should call the BestFit method of GridViewDataColumn in order to resize a column in RadGridView. Call the BestFitColumns method of MasterGridViewTemplate to auto size all columns. Take a look at the following code snippet:

this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.BestFitColumns();

Should you have any other questions, feel free to write us.

Kind regards,
