I have a radgrid with fixed width columns (9) that force the header text to appear only partially.
How can I force every column to be of the header's text size and to simultaneously use a horizontal scrolling bar so that I can see all the columns?
Thank you very much.

Hi,

Try setting TableLayout to Auto and Enable Scrolling for the Grid as shown below.

ASPX:
<MasterTableView DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"     TableLayout="Auto"   > 
 

<ClientSettings   > 
   <Scrolling  AllowScroll="True" /> 
</ClientSettings>

The only thing that seem to work is to add a Width="100%" in the MasterTableView tag and right below MasterTableView opening tag the following tag :

<HeaderStyle Width="200px" />

Hello Stavros,

Depending on the RadGrid configuration and scenario, the requested functionality is achieved in different ways. If the MasterTableView has its TableLayout set to "Auto", then you don't have to do anything in particular to make RadGrid columns expand horizontally and a scrollbar to appear.

However, if the TableLayout of the MasterTableView is needed to be "Fixed" (e.g. when using row resizing), then the columns are squashed to fit the RadGrid's width, unless you do the following:

1) Set Width to the MasterTableView in pixels

or

2) Set Width to the columns in pixels


Here is a simple page, which demonstrates the simple case, when the TableLayout is Auto:


<%@ Page Language="C#" %> 
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %> 
<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %> 
 
<script runat="server"
 
    protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e) 
    { 
        DataTable dt = new DataTable(); 
        DataRow dr; 
        int colsNum = 30
        int rowsNum = 20
        string colName = ""
 
        for (int j = 1; j <= colsNum; j++) 
        { 
            dt.Columns.Add(String.Format("Column{0}", j)); 
        } 
 
        for (int i = 1; i <= rowsNum; i++) 
        { 
            dr = dt.NewRow(); 
 
            for (int k = 1; k <= colsNum; k++) 
            { 
                colName = String.Format("Column{0}", k); 
                dr[colName] = String.Format("{0} Row{1}", colName, i); 
            } 
            dt.Rows.Add(dr); 
        } 
 
        (sender as RadGrid).DataSource = dt
    } 
 
</script>
