Grid Header Space

[Tom]

How do I remove the white space above the grid columns?

I'm using the BusinessGrid theme and have looked everywhere trying to find how to remove this white space. It's at the very top of the grid above the header columns.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

Thank you for contacting me.

Right above the rows area, there is a white space used for the grouping panel. Once you drop a column in the grouping panel, the RadGridView will be grouped by this column. If you don't wish to use this feature you can hide the grouping panel by setting its Visibility to Collapsed. Consider the code below:

((GridTableElement)this.radGridView1.GridElement).Children[0].Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;

I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to write me, if you have other questions.

Best regards,

Yeah I figured that out. I feel stupid hahaha.

I do have another question. We have a form that has several grids on it stacked vertically. Vertical space in each grid is at a premium and I want to cut out any wasted space.

I changed the height of the header columns using the Visual style editor and changing the GridHeaderRowElement section. I changed the AutoSize property to false, and then changed the height in the bounds section.

This worked fine to change the height of the header column, however, the container section in still the original height.  How do I adjust the height of the container itself?

Hello Tom,

The column header row uses the TableHeaderHeight property of the GridTableElement to get its size. When the AutoSize property is set to true, this behavior is broken. I woud suggest using the TableHeaderHeight property.

Let us know, if you need further assistance.
 

Kind regards,

Is there a new way of hiding the white space for the grouping panel?  I've got the most recent version of the Telerik controls and the above code doesn't work anymore.  I also want to hide that white space above the row header that seems to be saved for the column group panel which I've already disabled.

Here it is:

radGridView.ShowGroupPanel = false;
