BestFitColumns problem

[ShareDocs]

Hi,
I've got a grid with 22 columns, I want to be able to show the columns with a horizontal scroll bar,
so I've set autosizecolumnmode to 'none' and used 'bestfitcolumns' method.

the problem is that all the content got corrupted and is not showing properly (I've attached a screenshot to this thread),

even when I don't use the 'bestfitcolumns' method the content is corrupted (only when I set 'autosizecolumnmode' to 'fill' the content shows right - but then I can't use the horizontal scroll bar)

how can I achieve the desired result?

Hello Lior,

Thank you for writing.

BestFitColumns method iterates over all cells and calls the BestFit method of GridViewDataColumn. It will be better to call these methods after setting the data source and after the first layout of the control. A good place would be the OnLoad or the OnShown method of your form:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)

{

    base.OnLoad(e);



}

If you continue to experience this issue, please open a support ticket and send me your application. I will try to locate the issue and find a proper solution.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Hi,
as I wrote in the body of my post: "even when I don't use the 'bestfitcolumns' method the content is corrupted (only when I set 'autosizecolumnmode' to 'fill' the content shows right - but then I can't use the horizontal scroll bar)".

so i can't see how your answer can help me.

Hope there is a solution to this problem...

Hi,
eventually I fixed the problem and here is the description and the solution:
the problem: I had a gridview with cellformating viewCellFormatting event attached. inside the ViewCellFormating event i changed the textalignment to ContentAlignment.MiddleRight and set rightToLeft to false for numeric content (I'm Building a right to left app and the negative numbers doesn't shows right ).

if GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode was NOT set to Fill then after binding the data the columns were one on top another (see image in my first post).

The Solution: I've disabled the event and used the formatstring to get the desired number formatting.

B.T.W:
the title of this post is misleading (i don't know how to change it) and it is not related to the problem.
