automatic column widths, which depend on the cell content

[Dominik]

The documentation states that, "...it is not possible to have a scrollable Grid with automatic table layout (i.e. automatic column widths, which depend on the cell content".  Is there a workaround to get this functionality or is it really impossible?

Hello Dominik,

It's really not possible as explained in this forum thread too:

Of course workarounds exist but you sacrificing the usability of the grid and possibly introducing bugs:

Here is a workaround that works with scrolling enabled:

dataBound: function(){
                        var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
                        for (var i = 0; i < grid.columns.length; i++) {
                            grid.autoFitColumn(i);
                        }
                    }
