Width of drop down based on width of largest row

[RDot]

Hi -

 How can I make the width of my drop down be the width of the largest row in the drop down?

 Thanks,

Hi,

Try setting the AutoSizeDropDownToBestFit property of RadMultiColumnComboBox to true. In this way, each time you open the drop-down, its width will be calculated based on the sum of the widths of the columns.

Hope this helps.

Hi Shinu -

 Thanks for your response.    This not working for me.  It makes the drop down the same width of the combo box and then my users have to scroll horizontally to see all the columns.

  I want the width of the drop down to be as large as the widest column.     This doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do.

 Thanks

Hi,

Try the following code snippet to achieve your scenario.

C#:

this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.ValueMember = "ID";
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.DisplayMember = "Name";
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.DataSource = table;
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.AutoSizeDropDownToBestFit = false;
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.BestFitColumns(true, false);

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Shinu.

Hello Rob,

Thank you for writing.

I can confirm that the both provided approaches should  re-size the drop down of the RadMultiColumnComboBox to the desired width. You can read more about the RadMultiColumnComboBox in this documentation article:http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/multicolumncombobox-overview.html

If you continue experiencing issues, please provide a sample project that demonstrates the undesired behavior or more information, so I can investigate it and help you with it.

Should you have any other questions, I will be glad to assist you.
