FrozenColumn leaving empty space at right end of the grid.

[Muhammad Irfan]

 I am facing one problem in RadGrid. After setting the FrozenColumnCount property, when I (horizontally) scrolled to the right end of the grid, it is leaving empty space (see the attach image). Here is the code which I am using.

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
   
    <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" Width="100%">
        <MasterTableView HeaderStyle-Width="80px"></MasterTableView>
        <ClientSettings>
            <Scrolling AllowScroll="True" UseStaticHeaders="True" FrozenColumnsCount="2"></Scrolling>
            <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />   
        </ClientSettings>
    </telerik:RadGrid>
    </div>
    </form>

Code Behind is:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.NeedDataSource += new GridNeedDataSourceEventHandler(RadGrid1_NeedDataSource);
        RadGrid1.PreRender += new EventHandler(RadGrid1_PreRender);
        RadGrid1.ItemDataBound += new GridItemEventHandler(RadGrid1_ItemDataBound);
    }

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        //RadGrid1.MasterTableView.AutoGeneratedColumns[7].HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(40);
        //RadGrid1.MasterTableView.AutoGeneratedColumns[10].HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(40);
    }

    protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }

    protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object source, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.DataSource = GetResultsTable();
    }

    public DataTable GetResultsTable()
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();

        for (int i = 0; i < 70; i++)
        {
            dt.Columns.Add("Column " + i);
            List<object> objectNumbers = new List<object>();

            for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++)
            {
                objectNumbers.Add(i.ToString() + "," + j.ToString());
            }

            while (dt.Rows.Count < objectNumbers.Count)
            {
                dt.Rows.Add();
            }

            for (int k = 0; k < 10; k++)
            {
                dt.Rows[k][i] = objectNumbers[k];
            }
        }
        return dt;
    }

I will really appreciate for quick response. Thanks

This comes from the fact that the width of the MasterTableView is smaller than the width of the overall Grid. Have you tried setting the property TableLayout of the MasterTableView to "fixed"? I think this should take care of it :)

[Muhammad Irfan]

I have also tried after giving the same width to MasterTableView and Layout=Fixed but no change. Kindly help.

[Schlurk]

When you set the TableLayout to fixed did you still define headerstyle-widths? Have you tried setting either the headerstyle-width to a larger amount of pixels or perhaps a percentage to see if that helps? Also you can try setting the width of the MasterTableView as well and then not define any headerstyle-widths to see if this resolves the issue.

[Muhammad Irfan]

Yes I tried in both ways.....set Width and TableLayout with headerstyle-width AND without headerstyle-width. But still problem persist.

I have a sample application so that problem can be reproduced but here I can only attach images. :(

[Schlurk]

The easiest way to resolve this is to remove the UseStaticHeaders property, or set it to false. Are you looking into having the functionality of this property? If so I would recommend that either you define the width of the RadGrid in pixels and define the width of the headerstyle-width of the columns to add up to this width.

Turning off UseStaticHeaders means we give up valuable functionality in order to hide a bug. That's not a solution.

I've also been struggling with this issue which is cross-browser and doesn't seem to be affected by the settings discussed so far. My bet is that this is a bug. I've been told by Support that there are a couple bugs related to frozen columns which have been fixed and should be available in the next release.  I'm really hoping this one is addressed as well.

Hello all,

The problem with the empty space appearing after the last column has been fixed. Changes will take effect in Q1 2010 Beta (due in mid February) and Q1 2010 official (due in early March).

You can also download some of the next internal builds.

All the best,
