Set the row height to fill all grid space?

[awt]

I am trying to set the row height of the RadGridView element to fill the whole space of the grid instead of showing blank space when the number of rows is less than the height of the grid, the problem is I couldn't find a simple way to do this without many complications and performance issues using different events to set the RowHeight property when the size is changed for the grid. How to achieve this?

Hello Abdulwadood,

Thank you for writing. 

RadGridView controls the rows size by the TableElement.RowHeight property. In order to fill the entire grid with the data rows, you can manage the RowHeight property by handling the RadGridView.SizeChanged event. Here is demonstrated a sample approach:
 

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radGridView1.Columns.Add("Col 1");
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        this.radGridView1.Rows.Add("Row" + i);
    }

    this.radGridView1.SizeChanged += radGridView1_SizeChanged;
    this.radGridView1.TableElement.ViewInfo.TableAddNewRow.Height = 20;
}

private void radGridView1_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RecalculateRowHeight();
}

private void RecalculateRowHeight()
{
    int headerHeight = this.radGridView1.TableElement.TableHeaderHeight;
    int filterHeight = this.radGridView1.TableElement.FilterRowHeight;
    int newRowHeight = this.radGridView1.TableElement.ViewInfo.TableAddNewRow.Height;

    this.radGridView1.TableElement.RowHeight =
        Math.Max(1, (this.radGridView1.Height - (headerHeight + filterHeight + newRowHeight)) / this.radGridView1.Rows.Count);
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RecalculateRowHeight();
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I am getting a compilation error (RadGridView does not contain a definition for TableElement...). There is only an object called TableDefinition. 

I am using Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView assembly.
