How to automatically resize a column ?

[Thomas LEBRUN]

Hi,

I would like to know how I can automatically resize a column (simulate a double-clic on the grid column separator) so the content is not truncated.

I've found nothing to do this: is it possible ?


Thanks !

Hi,

Nobody got an idea ? :(


Thanks !

Hi Thomas LEBRUN,

Double Clicking on the thumb that is used to resize the column will make it auto size.
The thumb is between two columns.
Also in Q3 beta 2 release you can set radGridView.Columns[0].Width = GridViewLength.Auto
It is the same as double clicking the resize thumb.

Kind regards,

Hi Hristo;

Using GridLength.Auto does what I need: thanks !

When I try to double click on what I think is the thumb in between the two columns I don't get the auto size functionality that I'm expecting.  Rather, I get a slight movement on the first click (resize), then I get a sort on the column since the with of the column changed on the first click, my mouse is now on the column header rather than in the middle.

I experimented on the demo site and had the same results.

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or if I don't understand something.

Thank you!

(Thanks for the reply - I missed that this is the Silverlight forum, is there an autosize function within the asp.net ajax radgrid?)

Hello,

This demo is for our ASP.NET AJAX grid - you can check RadGridView for Silverlight demos here:
