Radgrid height on high Resolution- Challenge for all

[Dheeraj]

Hi All,

First of all thanks to telerik team for their awesome controls.

After searching a lot on Telerik website I am writing my problem here, though there is some suggestion in some threads of the forum but truly speaking none of the solution is satisfying my requirement.

Here is what I want to achieve ->  My project is displaying RadGrid height correctly and it is filling the page correctly on a screen resolution of (1024 X 768), but problem arise when screen resolution change to some higher value (e.g. 1440 X 900). On high resolution grid looks like hanging in the middle of the browser. Please note that RadGrid scroll height is hard coded in each .aspx page depending on the space available for Radgrid( Means there are also some controls above the Grid like Menu's, tabs, export to excel button etc, which are screen specific,though Menu's are contained in Master page)

Radgrid is using Virtual scrolling, Filtering, static headers, RadToolbar etc.

To make my point clear I made a sample project which demonstrate my page and project structure and here is the link to sample project -

http://www.woofiles.com/dl-242315-4N3ibXA3-GridHeightDemo.zip

I also attached the screen shot of screen on resolution (1024 X 768)  which is working fine and on resolution (1440 X 900) in which grid is hanging out in the middle of browser.

It would be nice if anyone can modify the attached sample project so that it will display consistent on all resolution. I beleive if we can solve this issue it will benefit many others guys also.

Here is detail of environment I am using -

RadControls Version - RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q1 2010 ( File Version and product Version - 2010.1.309.20)
ASP.NET version - (ASP.Net 3.5)
Browser - Internet explorer 8 (Version - 8.0.6001.18904)
programming language - C#

Thanks,
Dheeraj

Hi Dheeraj,

Unfortunately  there is an error with the download links. However take a look at this help topic, there is explained how to set RadGrid to 100% height of its container:
http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/grid/setting-100-height-and-resize-on-container-resize-for-grid-with-scrolling-and-static-headers.aspx
Take a look at the grid_100_width_height.zip file.

All the best,

Hello Dheeraj,

I am not sure if I properly understand what is the issue you are facing. In the provided article it is shown how the container and the RadGrid can fulfil all the page. Is this what you want?

Additionally, it seems there is a problem with site woofiles.com, but you can try attaching the files here, in the forum or open a formal support ticket to send them.

Hi Galin,

Thanks again for your kind reply.

I am sorry for the inconvenince you are facing in downloading and running the example I provied earlier at "woofiles.com".

I am not seeing any option to attach code here thats why I uploaded it to free hosting site. I am uploading it to another free hosting site and here is the link to download sample project.
