RadGrid headerContextMenu and resizing

[Farjana]

Hi,

I have a rad Grid in my page with "EnableHeaderContextMenu" set to true as well as "AllowColumnResize" set to true.
<Resizing ResizeGridOnColumnResize="false" AllowResizeToFit="true" AllowColumnResize="true"/>.
Prob:
When i remove some columns using headercontextmenu, the grid is getting resized an d i can see a white space at the end of grid, until a postback happens.
I tried setting "AllowColumnResize" to false, then it works fine. But i want both columns to be either resized or removed using header context menu. In both the cases grid should not be resized.

Hi Farjana,

Please try adding the following to your RadGrid and check if the issue exists.

ASPX:

<ClientSettings>
 <Resizing ResizeGridOnColumnResize="false" AllowResizeToFit="true" AllowColumnResize="true" />
 <ClientEvents OnColumnHidden="onColumnHidden" />
</ClientSettings>

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
 function onColumnHidden(sender, args) {
   sender.get_masterTableView().get_element().style.tableLayout = "auto";
   sender.get_masterTableViewHeader().get_element().style.tableLayout = "auto";
    window.setTimeout(function () {
    sender.get_masterTableViewHeader().get_element().style.tableLayout = "fixed";
    sender.get_masterTableView().get_element().style.tableLayout = "fixed";
     }, 1)
   }
</script>

Thanks,

Thanks. It works fine:)
I am trying to change the display name of the columns, that appears when i click on "Columns" in header context menu. I coludn't find an option to change it. What should i do? See the attachment, I would like to assign "headertext" of the columns to header text menu columns

Hi Farjana,

By default the HeaderContextMenu Columns get the name from the HeaderText property of the columns. Please find the attached image. Provide your full code snippet if this doesn't help.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="OrderID" HeaderText="Order*ID"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
<telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn DataTextField="ShipCountry" HeaderText="ShipCountry">
</telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn>
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="CustomerID" HeaderText="CustomerID"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ShipVia" HeaderText="ShipVia"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>

Thanks,

Hi Princy,

Thanks, it works fine. I was using the below item to change the header text(dynamic columns). It has just modified the item text and not the actual header text.
So, it was not reflecting in the HeaderContextMenu

headerItem[column.UniqueName].Controls[0]).Text = "ID";

On explicitly assigning, column.HeaderText ="ID"., it works fine.

Thanks,
Farjana
