AllowResizeToFit in GridGrouping

[Administrator]

Please could you tell me where to find the AllowResizeToFit property in the GridGrouping control.

Thanks,

Ben Lamb.

Perhaps this will do?

gridControl.TableModel.Options.ResizeColsBehavior = GridResizeCellsBehavior.None;

Ben,

I think you are looking for this.grid.TableDescriptor.AllowCalculateMaxColumnWidth

If you set this false the GridTable object will stop calculating maximum column widths.

But, you can also force columns to have a specific size by setting GridColumnDescriptor.Width of a column. Once a specific width has been specified this will not be automatically resized. Only if the user double clicks on the vertical line it will be resized to fit maximum length.

Thanks again Sean and Stefan, your advice is invaluable.

ResizeColsBehavior wasn''t what I wanted but useful to know about nonetheless.

I am constructing an array of columns using:

myGrid.TableDescriptor.Columns.Clear();
myGrid.TableDescriptor.Columns.AddRange( new GridColumnDescriptor[] {
GridColumnDescriptor("A Column", "A Column", null, true, 40),
});

The width specified here was being ignored. I was overriding the width as Stefan suggested which worked but I wanted to be able to use the width specified in the GridColumnDescriptor constructor call. Setting AllowCalculateMaxColumnWidth to false has the desired effect.

Incidentally, when setting up the columns in this way* I no longer get red arrows when I reorder the columns. Any ideas why? The users really liked the arrows!

Thanks,

Ben.

* Instead of just letting the grid take the columns from the datasource.

Ben,

I tried to reproduce the problem you mention that the red arrow indicator does not work any more but it worked fine for me.

If you continue to see the problem can you give instructions how to reproduce it. You could modify one of our samples (e.g. GroupCustomers) or create a new small sample project.

Thanks,
Stefan
