Hello, I'm having problems with a gridview. I have a gridview control inside a panel that shrinks and grows with splitters. The gridview is initially configured to adjust it's columns using BestFit alghorithm and size mode is None. When the gridview is bigger than the parent panel, the scrollbars appear and viceversa. The problem appears when the user sets the GridView to autosize (Autosize columns mode to Fill). If the GridView width is smaller than the sum of the column's minimum width, I would expect that the horizontal scrollbar appears since the GridView shouldn't shrink anymore. But the behaviour is that the grid shrinks up to it's minum but the splitter crops the grid and the scrollbars don't appear.
Is there a workaround to this?
Are you fixing this anytime?

Below is the code and attached is an image of the running example.

Code behind:

using System;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using Telerik.WinControls.UI;

namespace RadGridViewWithAutoSizeAndScolls

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

private BindingList<Instrument> _list;

private readonly int _gridMinimumSize;

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

FillGridView();

IntializeGrid(BestFitColumnMode.DisplayedCells);

}

private void IntializeGrid(BestFitColumnMode mode)

{

grdRatesMarkets.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

grdRatesMarkets.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.None;

foreach (var column in grdRatesMarkets.Columns)

{

column.AutoSizeMode = mode;

}

grdRatesMarkets.MasterTemplate.BestFitColumns();

}

private void FillGridView()

{

var row1 = new Instrument((int)Instrument.Pairs.GBP_AUD)

{

Ask = "1",

Bid = Convert.ToDecimal(Math.Sqrt(2)),

LotAmount = 1,

Direction = 1,

High = 2,

Low = -1,

BuyMtm = "1",

Time = DateTime.Now.AddHours(4).ToString()

};

var row2 = new Instrument((int)Instrument.Pairs.GBP_USD)

{

Ask = "1",

Bid = 0,

LotAmount = 1,

Direction = 1,

High = 2,

Low = -1,

BuyMtm = "1",

Time = DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString()

};

var row3 = new Instrument((int)Instrument.Pairs.GBP_HKD)

{

Ask = "1",

Bid = 0,

LotAmount = 1,

Direction = 1,

High = 2,

Low = -1,

BuyMtm = "1",

Time = DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString()

};

_list = new BindingList<Instrument> { (row1), (row2), (row3) };

grdRatesMarkets.DataSource = _list;

}

private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

ChangeAutosizeGrid(checkBox1.Checked);

}

private void ChangeAutosizeGrid(bool autoSize)

{

if (autoSize)

{

grdRatesMarkets.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

return;

}

grdRatesMarkets.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.None;

IntializeGrid(BestFitColumnMode.DisplayedCells);

}

The designer class:

namespace RadGridViewWithAutoSizeAndScolls

{

partial class Form1

{

/// <summary>

/// Required designer variable.

/// </summary>

private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components;

/// <summary>

/// Clean up any resources being used.

/// </summary>

/// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

{

if (disposing && (components != null))

{

components.Dispose();

}

base.Dispose(disposing);

}

#region Windows Form Designer generated code

/// <summary>

/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify

/// the contents of this method with the code editor.

/// </summary>

private void InitializeComponent()
