Column Stretch to Fill

[Curtis]

Hi folks :)

Is there any way to tell a specific column inside a grid to "Stretch to Fill" so it completely fills the leftover space in a grid where the column widths added up do not equal the total width of the grid control?

 

Hard to describe so out comes Photoshop so I can create a couple of images to demonstrate what I'm talking about:

The first image shows the grid "as-is" the second images shows the effect I'm looking for:  The "Description" column would stretch to fill all remaining space.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hello Curtis,

You can set the AutoSizeColumnsMode to fill. Then you can set the Max/Min width of all columns except the last one. Here is an example:

radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
for (int i = 0; i < radGridView1.Columns.Count - 1 ; i++)
{
    radGridView1.Columns[i].MaxWidth = 100;
    radGridView1.Columns[i].MinWidth = 100;
}

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you Dimitar :)

This isn't quite what I had in mind - but does show me how to write my own method to handle this which was great :)

Thanks again!
