Grid "filter row" auto size - solution

[Andrés]

Hi!
I started using the new filter row and I think it's great!
However, in busy grids with several columns it looks awful. The filter controls don't resize, so in narrow columns it get's cut off and in wide columns the space is wasted.

I created a helper function that through some event handlers, attempts to fix this. All you need to do is call "grid.autoFixFilterWidth()"

I really wish something like this would be implemented by default, hopefully using css rules and not some hacky js like my solution, but in the mean time this works for me. Ymmv.
Hope it helps someone!
Regards

Andrés

Hello Andrés,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and solution here. I would encourage you to submit a new feature request on or feedback portal, so it could be publicly discussed and voted for.
On a related note - here is another example how the filter row widgets could be re-sized.

I'm having trouble finding the documentation on this new feature. I am using Kendo UI Pro Q3 2014. Do you have a link?

Hello Donald,

The auto-resizing of the filter row cells is not optional and thus it is not explicitly mentioned in the documentation. We would be happy to answer any questions that you might have regarding it.
