Initially Hidden Grid with locked columns

[jeff]

Hi folks!

Our ui framework is based on bootstrap/kendo; I have a grid that has a few locked columns that is initially hidden. If I don't specify the widths of each section, the table doesn't expand until a button/pagination is clicked, etc.. so I'm using this css to cover the widths:

 

#Grid .k-grid-content-locked,
#Grid .k-grid-header-locked {
    min-width: 290px;
}
#Grid .k-grid-content,
#Grid .k-grid-header,
#Grid .k-grid-header-wrap {
    min-width: 788px;
}

 

But when the browser is smaller (or on a smaller device) and using a smaller footprint/media queries, this grid is still very wide, obviously.. Do you have any ideas on how I can have the table expand/contract under these conditions without specifying the width of .k-grid-content or .k-grid-header, etc..

 

Thank you!

Hello Jeff,

By default, the Kendo Grid is responsive, and additional CSS is not required.

I've created a demo to illustrate that the grid is still responsive with hidden and locked columns.

Hope this helps!

Hi Patrick,

Maybe reread the initial post? Here's the root cause, the grid being initialized in a hidden container:

Anyways, thank you, I'll figure it out.

Ahhh.. solution:

 

var gridWidget = $("#Grid").data("kendoGrid");

gridWidget.resize(true);

 

That's all it took, thank you though!
