Grid resize is functioning sometimes and not others

[Todd Armstrong]

I update the data source to my grid as follows:

In windows designer code:
this.gridDataBoundGrid.DataSource = this.dataViewGrid;

In ReloadGridData() method:

dataViewGrid.Table = gridPortfolioCounterPartyDataSet.PortfolioCounterparties;

gridDataBoundGrid.Model.ColWidths.ResizeToFit(GridRangeInfo.Table(), GridResizeToFitOptions.IncludeHeaders);

This code works fine most of the time. However, during some times when it hits this code, I get a default column width for all columns and the text is wrapped. Why is that?

Also, when I try to resize my columns manually, I get a red drag line and it doesn''t allow it. It goes back to original size and I can only double click the header line to auto size the column. Why is that?

Thanks in advance for any info,

Todd

Hi Todd, Try setting the AllowResizeToFit property to false . This prevents the GridDataBoundGrid from default resizing (getting adjusted according to Column Header Text).

this.gridDataBoundGrid1.AllowResizeToFit=false;
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model.ColWidths.ResizeToFit(GridRangeInfo.Cols(0, this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model.ColCount), GridResizeToFitOptions.IncludeHeaders);

Here is a sample. autosizecolumn.zip Let us know if you need further help. Best Regards, Jeba.

AllowResizeToFit property is set to false in the Windows Designer code and is never changed. I resize grids all the time in my code and it usually works fine. It isn''t even resizing to the header size, but smaller, see attached. It would be great if there were a way to tell the grid to resize by the max of column header or cell data width with properties in the designer instead of having to do this through code. Any other ideas? >Hi Todd, > >Try setting the AllowResizeToFit property to false . This prevents the GridDataBoundGrid from default resizing (getting adjusted according to Column Header Text). >

Hi Todd,

Currently there is no designer property. You have to call ResizeToFit programmatically at the end of Form load event handler.
