RadGrid width autogrow

[Santi]

Hello, i have a radgrid which i need to show a horizontal scroll when we add a lot of columns and persist the width of the columns but my grid is fxed to the width window and not show the scroll, then resize the width column and this make looks very bad. I put the e.column width in the column_created event with percentage unit.

 I have the width column in a parameter and i put it in the column created event but i dont have width  configured in the radgrid . Is better put it in pixels? i have a column with no size for autogrow with the extra width that other columns not use.

 

Any idea?

Hi,

In order horizontal scroll to appear the total width of the columns should exceed the grid width. Try setting column width in px as shown below and see if it helps:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ID").HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(120);
}

Hello,

You can try changing the ExpandColumn width as shown below:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridColumn column in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.RenderColumns)
        {
            if (column.ColumnType == "GridExpandColumn")
            {
                column.HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(10);
            }
        }
    }
