Double click in resize columns

[Ane]

Is there any way to automatically resize the width of the column so you can see the whole data when you double click on the resize cursor?

I know you can drag the resize pointer to the width you want, but I would like to set the optimal size in order to see everything when the user double clicks on it. Is that possible?

Thanks,

Hello Ane,

The Grid doesn't have such functionality. However you can implemented yourself. I am attaching jsFiddle which demonstrates one possible way to implement this for non scrollable grid. You can use it as a reference for more sophisticated implementation.

As Nikolay mentioned, the above example only works when scrollable is false.  When scrollable is true, the header acts as another table.

This jsFiddle example may break on future updates ( I make assumptions about the header object), but for now it works on the last version of kendo with scrolling turned on.

When I double click to resize Ship Name, Ship City disappears from the grid. And when I double click Order Date, the width goes wider than the date. Have you found a way to address this? I would really like to know. Thanks!

Hi Winston,

I didn't do it. I'm just using the normal resize. Sorry.

Hi,

I have tried with the code which you shared on link it works fine in example with html grid but it is not working for Column Header if we use the Kendo Grid MVC Wrapper. It will only re size the contents not header width.

Any Better solution?

Thanks

Hi,

In version 2015.2.805 double click on column header resize area is  automatically resize the width of the column, 

but this bug is still here. 

If you autoresize first 3 columns width of other two is too smal to see anithing and scroll is not avalible and when autoresize next column the last is disappeare

Hello Egorov,

 

I'm not able to replicate this behavior - http://screencast.com/t/s0guXO91c

 

Am I missing something?
