GridGroupingControl (2.1.0.9) - Column Width

[Daniel Roesch]

Hi!

In my form_load method I try to set width for a column by doning following:
this.topLevelDescriptor.Columns["acolumn"].Widht = 75;
But when I set the width the scroll bar of the GridGroupingControl disappears!
How can I solve that problem? Can anybody help me?

Kind regards,
Dan Roesch

I tried to see this problem in a simple sample (using both a flat datasource and a hierarchical datasource), and could not. Here is the flat sample.

What are you doing differently? Can you upload a sample showing the problem?

Hi Clay

I wasn''t very exact with my explanation because not the vertical but the horizontal scrollbar disappears also your example does not work correctly. As soon as you add more columns to the grid the h-scrollbar gots lost.

Cheers!

PS: I do the same as you did in your example

This has been corrected in later releases.

The only work-around I know is to let the grid initially draw, and then set the colwidth. This does cause a flash as the grid displays.

	//bottom of formload
	Timer t = new Timer();
	t.Interval = 10;
	t.Tick += new EventHandler(t_Tick);
	t.Start();
}

private void t_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	Timer t = sender as Timer;
	t.Stop();
	t.Tick -= new EventHandler(t_Tick);
	t.Dispose();
	this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["Col2"].Width = 175;
}
