[Solved] GridViewDataColumn Width = "Auto" is not working

[Xinfeng]

Hi,

I have the following RadGridView code:

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
      <telerikNavigation:RadTabControl BorderThickness="0" Style="{StaticResource StandardTabStyle}">       
            <telerikNavigation:RadTabItem Header="Projected Cash Balance" Style="{StaticResource StandardTabItemStyle}">
                <Border Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource PanelBody}" BorderThickness="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" >
                    <Grid>
                        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
                            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
                        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
 
                        <Border Style="{StaticResource PanelStrip}" BorderThickness="0,0,0,1" Grid.Row="0">
                            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                                <TextBlock Text="Settle Date:" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0 0 5 0" />
                                <Controls:RadDatePicker SelectedDate="{Binding SettleDate, Mode=TwoWay}" MinWidth="100" />
                            </StackPanel>
                        </Border>
 
                        <telerikGridView:RadGridView Grid.Row="1"
                            x:Name="cashProjectionView"
                            Style="{StaticResource StandardRadGridView}"
                            ItemsSource="{Binding CashProjectionItems}"

                            EnableRowVirtualization="True"
                            EnableColumnVirtualization="False">
 
                            <i:Interaction.Behaviors>
                                <GridView:RadGridViewAutoFormat/>
                                <Toolbar:RadGridViewToolbar/>
                                <GridView:RadGridTotalLabel/>
                                <!--<GridView:RadGridViewRealTime EventName="CashMgmt"/>-->
                            </i:Interaction.Behaviors>
                            <telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>

                                <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn Header="SD2 Value" DataMemberBinding="{Binding SD2Value}" Width="Auto"/>
                                <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn Header="SD3 Value" DataMemberBinding="{Binding SD3Value}" Width="Auto"/>
                                <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn Header="TD Value" DataMemberBinding="{Binding tdValue}" Width="Auto"/>
                            </telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>
 
                            <telerikGridView:RadGridView.SortDescriptors>
                                <Data:SortDescriptor Member="Account" SortDirection="Ascending"/>
                            </telerikGridView:RadGridView.SortDescriptors>
                        </telerikGridView:RadGridView>
                    </Grid>
                </Border>
            </telerikNavigation:RadTabItem>
        </telerikNavigation:RadTabControl>
    </Grid>

I am populating the GridView asynchronously using WCF Web Service and Rx. However, the column width is not set automatically after the GridView is populated with data. Anything wrong with my settings? (I am using Q2 2011)

Thanks a lot!

Hi Xinfeng,

The default value for each column's Width property is "Auto", so generally you do not need to set it explicitly. May you clarify what is the exact behavior that you experience, how are the columns sized ?

Hi Maya,

The width of each column was not automatically adjusted to the width of the value inside (I guess it had something to do with the Asynchronize call to populate the Grid), which was why I set the "Auto" manually. However, it was still not working, many of the values were truncated. What I am doing now is I set a width for each column in this GridView.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Xinfeng,

 

I have already replied to your support ticket.
For those who might be interested in your case I am pasting the answer here for further reference:


As my colleague Maya proposed the Width property of a column is set to Auto. 
The possible values, which may be assigned to this property are described in the following thread, please follow this link. As you noticed you may also set this property to SizeToCells value where the Width of the column is equal to to the width of the widest (excluding header) cell.

Hi Vanya,

The "SizeToCells" is not working. I am populating the GridView asynchronously using WCF web service and I am using Prism. 

Thanks a lot!
