autosize GridButtonColumn with multiple cellbuttons

[nn]

Hello,

is seems impossible to find a way to autosize the column width of a  GridButtonColumn hosting multiple cell buttons . for example:

List<CellButton> buttons = new List<CellButton>();

            buttons.Add(new CellButton() { Text = "Button1" });

            buttons.Add(new CellButton() { Text = "Button2" });

            buttons.Add(new CellButton() { Text = "Button3" });

            this.sfDataGrid.Columns.Add(new GridButtonColumn()

            {Buttons = buttons,AutoSizeColumnsMode= AutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells});

it always trims the contents of each cell in a way that the user cannot see all the buttons unless he resize the column

any help on this matter?

Hi Nnikos,

We have checked the reported scenario with the provided details. In that, our SfDataGrid’s AutoSizeColumnsMode does not support the GridButtonColumn. This is because the AutoSizeColumnsMode is updated the column widths based on the text content size, which is not applicable for button columns. However, you can overcome this by manually setting a static column width for the GridButtonColumn based on the desired width of the buttons as shown below,

List<CellButton> buttons = new List<CellButton>();

buttons.Add(new CellButton() { Text = "Button1"});

buttons.Add(new CellButton() { Text = "Button2" });

buttons.Add(new CellButton() { Text = "Button3" });

this.sfDataGrid1.Columns.Add(new GridButtonColumn()

{

    Buttons = buttons,

    Width = 150

});

By doing so, you can ensure that the buttons are displayed properly.

well, this a quick and dirty approach. what if the text in cellButtons is dynamic? for example different text translation. this is not an acceptable solution. Do you plan to include a fix for this?

thank you

However, we have analyzed and considered your requirement of “Provide the AutoSizeColumnsMode support for the GridButtonColumn” and logged a feature request for the same.
