[Solved] Get the WIDTH of a RadGrid - Colum

[Laz]

Hi to all,

it is possible to get the WIDTH of a RadGrid - Colum by Serverside or ClientSide!

I would like to set the WIDTH for a RadComboBox that is equal to the WIDTH to the RadGrid Column.

For visual reasons, I would like to set the width for the RadComboBox equal to column size

Thank

Hi Laz,

One sugestion is setting the Width of RadComboBox to "100%" so that the combobox will take the width of container accordingly.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Combo">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox2" runat="server" Width="100%">
        </telerik:RadComboBox>
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Princy,

sorry i think my description was not the best!

My RadComboBox is not inside the RadGrid. It is outside in a RadToolBar!
Thanks

Hi Laz,

Try the following code snippet and see whether it helps.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadToolBar ID="RadToolBar1" runat="server">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadToolBarButton runat="server" Text="Button 0">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox3" runat="server">
                    <Items>
                      . . .
                    </Items>
                </telerik:RadComboBox>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </telerik:RadToolBarButton>
        . . .
    </Items>
</telerik:RadToolBar>

CS:

    int w = Convert.ToInt32(RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("Combo").HeaderStyle.Width.Value); // Get the width of grid column
    RadToolBarItem Item = (RadToolBarItem) RadToolBar1.FindItemByText("Button 0"); // Get the ToolBar item

    RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)Item.FindControl("RadComboBox3"); // Get reference to combobox
    combo.Width = Unit.Pixel(w); // Set width

Thanks,
Princy.

Unfortunately, the expression always returns 0

int w = Convert.ToInt32(RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("Combo").HeaderStyle.Width.Value);

Hi Laz,

Unless, until you set the width of the column explicitly, the width of the column will be 0. So, a possible suggestion for your scenario is to set the width of the grid column explicitly and then set the same width value for the RadComboBox in the aspx.
aspx:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ProductName" UniqueName="BoundColumn" HeaderText="BoundColumn">
   <HeaderStyle Width="100px" />
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>


<telerik:RadToolBar ID="RadToolBar1" runat="server">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadToolBarButton runat="server" Text="Button">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox3" Width="100px" runat="server">
                    ...
                </telerik:RadComboBox>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </telerik:RadToolBarButton>
        . . .
    </Items>
</telerik:RadToolBar>

Thanks
Princy.

Hi,

this work. BUT unfortunately it does not solve my problem.

It does not solve my problem because I can not specify the width as I do not know it?

Because of this i can not define the <HeaderStyle Width="100px" />.

That is why I have this work leave the grid. This automatically defines the optimal colum width. I hope that when the grid set the optimal width depending on the text length, that i can get it to set it for the RadComboBox!

Is there a way to get the width without define a HeaderStyle.

Regards
