RadGridView in a User control

[dylan]

Hi

I am having trouble with the automaic resizing of the radgridview control. If I place it directly inside a grid column row and then set margins to 0 every thing works great and the radgridview fills the area.

If, however, I package the gridview in a usercontrol (within a grid element), and set the margins to 0, the radgridview fills the area as expected. When I then place the resultant usercontrol within a grid cell on a page the usercontrol does not honour the margin 0 properties. The radgridview seems to keep the usercontrol a constant size when manipulating the anchored margins within expression, Visual Studio or manually in the XAML.

I am wondering firstly if this is a bug, secondly if there is a workaround. In your sample application it seems to work fine.

Thanks in advance
Dylan

Hi Dylan,

This is not a bug, actually. The reason of your issue is that the default value of Width and Height properties of the UserControl is 300, and the only thing you need to do is to change them to Auto:

<UserControl x:Class="RadGridViewInUserControl.GridControl"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
    Height="Auto"  Width="Auto">
    <Grid>
    <telerik:RadGridView Margin="0" Name="radGridView1" />
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

I'm attaching you a sample project to demonstrate the case.
I hope this solves your issue.

All the best,

Hi$0$0$0$0Thanks that worked : ). I suppose I sould have checked this with other standard controls in a usercontrol to see what the default 'filling' behaviour of them is.$0$0$0$0$0Thanks$0$0Dylan$0$0$0$0$0$0$0
