RadGrid GridTemplateColumn Width Issue

[Mahesh Babu]

Hi,

I want to control the width of my GridTemplateColumns at runtime. When I am assigning to GridTemplateColumn.ItemStyle.Width, it is not working as expected.

Any suggestions please??


Thanks,
Mahesh

Hello Mahesh,

Try setting the width of the column using the HeaderStyle property of teh column as shown below:

c#:

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("TemplateColumnUniqueName").HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(100);

Hope this helps you out..

Shinu.

Setting this property is not changing my gridcolumn width. All columns are coming in same widths. Any suggestions please...

Hello Mahesh,

Try setting the TableLayout property of the ownertableview to fixed as shown below and see if it helps:
aspx:

 <telerik:RadGrid DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" ID="RadGrid1" runat="server">
       <MasterTableView TableLayout="Fixed" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">

Thanks
Princy.

This solved my problem to an extent. Now, the grid is not resizing when I show/hide a column. But still I can still not able to manage each column width. all the columns are of equal width.

Any suggestions please???

Hello Mahesh,

It will be easier for us to provide some advice if you post your RadGrid declaration here, so that we see what exactly are you trying to do and what's wrong with the setup.

The fact that all columns are the same width means that the TableLayout of the MasterTableView is "Fixed" and no column widths are set.

If you are setting column widths in such a way, that the sum of all widths is smaller than the MasterTableView's width, then all columns will expand.
