resizeToFit(), resizeColumn() and HeaderStyle.Width incompatible?

[Greg]

Hello,

I am working on a grid with some columns have the width automatically adjusted, some others adjusted by resizeToFit() and some other the width is fixed by HeaderStyle.Width.

If there is a column re sized by  resizeToFit(), all the following columns' width with HeaderStyle.Width are not respecting this parameter. The columns before the one re sized to fit work well.

Also if I use resizeToFit() and resizeColumn(index,width) (not using HeaderStyle.Width in this case), only resizeColumn is applied (placed after resizeToFit() in the script).

Could please explain how can they all get along together?
Thank you
Gregory

I would like to add another behavior that I just noticed.
Let's take an example with a grid with 10 columns in which some columns are defined with HeaderStyle.Width. The grid allows the users to resize columns. If the user re sizes a column, all the columns coming after lose their initial width.

I am guessing it is a normal behavior. Is there any documentation about all of this please?

Thank you
Gregory

Hi Greg,

If you want to resize column, without affecting the rest columns then the whole width of the grid will be affected. You could achieve this by setting ClientSettings -> Resizing -> ResizeGridOnColumnResize = true.

Additionally see this demo and the related resources to the demo for more information:

Hello Vasil,

Thank you for you answer.

In this example:
+-----------------+-----------+-----------------+-----------+
|            A         |       B      |           C         |      D       |
+-----------------+-----------+-----------------+-----------+

The grid is adjusted to the screen width and expands automatically. Columns B and C are fixed to 50px with HeaderStyle.Width. A and C are automatically adjusted.

Is it possible to have the column C adjusting automatically when the user adjusts the column A? since B and C have been defined ?

I am guessing no according to your previous answer, I just wanted to confirm.

Thank you again

Hi Greg,

You are correct in your observations. There is no way to automatically adjust the C column white the A column adjusts. If you have any additional questions related to RadControls please do not hesitate to contact us again.
