How to Sync Column width of two grid placed one on top of another.

[Grr]

I am trying to fake freeze top rows. So I have two grid and bottom one is adjacent to top one with no headers. It seems to work, but when I resize the top column the bottom does not re size.. So I managed to get it going with the code in columnWidthChanging, but the width changing in the bottom grid based on top one is funky as it changes width in both sides.

 index= topgridView.Columns.IndexOf(e.Column);

 bottomgridView.Columns[index].Width = e.Column.Width;

Is there a work around for this. I even tried setting the IsResizable property to false to all columns before subject column, but the property seems to does not work at all.

Any Help?

HI Maya,

I did look into that, but that is not what I need exactly, and also as per that forum listing, the solution did not seem very elegant for that reqirement.

My requriement is simple. Two independent GridView. No parent Child. Just want to sync column width.

Or let me put it this way, how to dynamically change the width of the column and increase it only on the right side and not both sides. If I have have a solution to that then my current approach will work.

Let me know if yo have any solution.

Hello,

I am sending you a sample project illustrating how you may achieve similar behavior. Let me know if it corresponds to your requirements.

Hi Maya,

may be i am a litttle bit to late for this thread, but i am trying to do the same things.
-> synchronize the width of child grid columns with a parent grid

On a first glance your sample works, but not in every case, so if you switch to an edit template
and the width changes but the event is not fired.

Do you know a Solution for EVERY column width change ?

Hello Ralf Bellmann,

I believe the solution suggested by Maya is as close as we can get.
In your case I would rather recommend to fix the width of the column , so it can be resized only by the user and not by changes in contents.

Hi everyone,

may be some one find this usefull.
To react on every column width change, put a usercontrol in the Header.
In the UserControl you can override ArrangeOverride and you get all (hopefully) width changes.
