How to set the width of Last column

[Vikas]

I am setting the width of all the columns in the grid to Auto: column.Width = GridViewLength.Auto;
But the last column does not cover the entire area (attached image).


I also have changed the style of telerik:GridViewHeaderCell, and because the last column do not stretch i can see another cell with a different back ground color.
How can i change the color of that column header

Thanks

Hello Vikas,

In order to cover the entire area after the last column as a part of it, you can set it's Width property to "*" in XAML or in code-behind, by Initializing a new instance of the GridViewLength structure, with the following GridViewLength(Double, GridViewLengthUnitType) constructor.

this.clubsGrid.Columns["ColumnUniqueName"].Width = new GridViewLength(100.123,GridViewLengthUnitType.Star);

I hope this helps.

After setting the width to GridViewLength(100.123,GridViewLengthUnitType.Star); I still see an extra column at the end with a black header background.

and i have to set the width in the source updated event, If i set the width after adding the column to the width The horizontal scrollabr does not show up

Hi Vikas,

I attached a sample project that demonstrates the suggested approach from my previous reply.

Please examine it an let us know how it goes.

I was able to use your solution and the last column does stretch, but then the horizontal scroll bar does not appear.
I am creating the columns in the code behind because the Grid can have different columns

AddColumn("Description", 300, "GridDescription");
AddColumn("Claim Format", 100, "ColumnValue3", true, true);

and for the last column i set its width to Star (according to your solution), the data however is coming from ItemSource.

Hi Vikas,

In general setting the Width property of any column to "*" means that this column will get the extra space and it will try to fit into the viable area. 

As for the horizontal ScrollBar, it will appear only when the viewable area is too small to display all the columns.
