GGC ResizeToFit when grouped on form_load

[Administrator]

I am having a problem with ResizeToFit if I add grouped columns in form_load. If I include these statements:

.GroupedColumns.Add("Status",ListSortDirection.Descending)
.GroupedColumns.Add("LastActivityDateAsDate", ListSortDirection.Ascending)

This resizetofit call resizes badly:

.ColWidths.ResizeToFit(GridRangeInfo.Table.ExpandRange(1, 1, .RowCount, .ColCount),GridResizeToFitOptions.None)

I''ve tried different resizetofitoptions but none seem to make a difference.

The same statement resizes correctly if the grid is loaded ungrouped and the user groups it.

I am calling resizetofit in the FormSizeChanged and CategorizedRecords events.

Is there anyway to add grouped columns later than at the end of form_load?

Thanks,

At the end of form.load, you can create a Timer with a small interval and a Tick event. In the event handler, stop the timer, unsubscribe to the event and do the grouping there.

//At the bottom of form.load
Timer t = new Timer();
t.Interval = 20;
t.Tick += new EventHandler(t_Tick);
t.Start();

//the handler
private void t_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	Timer t = sender as Timer;
	t.Stop();
	t.Tick -= new EventHandler(t_Tick);
	t.Dispose();

	//do your grouping and sizing;
}

Thanks, I''ll give that a try.

Is there a reason why resizetofit behaves this way?

The GridGroupingControl has does its own resizing the very first time the grid is about to be drawn. I suspect this resizing is stepping on the resizing you are trying to do.
