How to anchor a GridControl

[John Dumais]

Hi,

How do you set the anchor ehavior of a GridControl? When I drop one on a form, then set the anchor to all4 sides, I would have expected the GridControl to resize when I resize the form. However, the GridControl deosn''t seem to be effected by the anchor styles -- it doen''t resize as I would expect.

Thanks,

The Anchor property on the GridControl should behave the same as on any other Control.

Check to make sure the Dock property is not also set. If it is, it will override the Anchor settings.

Check what the grid''s parent is? The anchoring of a control is to its parent''s bounds.

If this does not explain what you are seeing, can you upload a sample project showing the problem?

It doesn''t look like the dock proprty is set. I''ll attach a very simple solution. Grab the for and resize it.

In your sample, the grid is sizing for me. Add a BorderStyle property to the grid and it will be more obvious that the grid bounds are changing as your size the form.

Are you expecting the columns in the grid to resize as you resize the form? If so, you will have to handle grid.Model.QueryColWidth event to manage this. You can see a sample of this in \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\3.2.1.0\Windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\DataBound\GridDataBoundImageCell.
