[Solved] Fixed Width Column

[Michael]

Hello,

Is there a way to make a column a fixed width? By this I mean, a column that the User can not drag to increase its size. I would also like this fixed width to ignore the ColumnsWidthMode of Fill on the grid and always stay a preset fixed width.

I tried defining the GridViewCell Template with a fixed Width, but that didn't seem to have an effect.

Can this be done?

Hello Michael,

If you explicitly set the Width property of a column this width will be respected even if the ColumnsWidthMode is set to Fill. We have also introduced a new property for our columns called IsResizable which you can use to disallow column resizing.
Here is a snippet that can help you configure the grid for your scenario:

<telerikGrid:RadGridView
    x:Name="RadGridView1"
    AutoGenerateColumns="False" ColumnsWidthMode="Fill">
    <telerikGrid:RadGridView.Columns>
        <telerikGrid:GridViewDataColumn
            UniqueName="Sender" IsResizable="False"  Width="30"/>
        <telerikGrid:GridViewDataColumn
            UniqueName="Size"/>
    </telerikGrid:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerikGrid:RadGridView>

I am also sending you the latest trial assemblies that include the IsResizable property.
