[Solved] Export to pdf column width

[Abdelhak LAKNIN]

Hi,

I have a question about the exportToPdf functionnality of the RadGrid. I hope you'll help me :).

I use this code to generate a radgrid to pdf format :

RadGridComparisonLines.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging =

true;

 

RadGridComparisonLines.ExportSettings.Pdf.AllowPrinting =

true;

 

RadGridComparisonLines.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageLeftMargin =

Unit.Pixel(10);

 

RadGridComparisonLines.ExportSettings.Pdf.PageRightMargin =

Unit.Pixel(10);

 

RadGridComparisonLines.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData =

false;

 

RadGridComparisonLines.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();

These lines of codes generate a grid in pdf format where all columns have the same width (issue).
But there are some columns which need less width than others.

how can I do to autosize the columns please ?

Thank you.

I tried to set the width manually like that :

radgrid.MasterTableView.Columns["Name"].HeaderStyle.Width = unit.Pixelsl(30);

But it doesn't work.

When the content width of the cell is greater than the column width, the content is written on the next column and doesn't go to the next line...

Hello Abdelhak,

You can set the width through the HeaderStyle-Width property:

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("CategoryName").HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(300);

Please note that the PDF engine splits the text only if it has an empty spaces. Otherwise the content will overflow in the adjacent cell.
