RadGrid Column width affecting all columns.

[Tom]

When I attempt to change the width of one of my columns, all the columns change. I'v tried Headers, Footers and Items with the same effect.

 Why is this happening?

Any thoughts?

Hi Tom,

You can try the following ways to set the column width. Please note that you have to set only the HeaderStyle width property and not ItemStyle's.

In ASPX:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ShipCity" HeaderText="ShipCity" UniqueName="ShipCity" Aggregate="Count">
  <HeaderStyle Width="500px"  />
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

From C#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ShipCity").HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(500);
}

Using CSS:

<style type="text/css">
    .setWidth
    {
        width: 500px;
    }
</style>

ASPX:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ShipCity" HeaderText="ShipCity" UniqueName="ShipCity" Aggregate="Count">
    <HeaderStyle CssClass="setWidth" />
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

If this doesn't help, please provide your code snippet.

Thanks,

Thanks Princy; I'm very new to Telerik but have many years of sql and C#. I see that there are many configuration wizards. I will be a big user of the grid. Is there any way to create a template from an existing RadGrid that I have built successfully? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again
