Manually setting width on columns produces inconsistent results

[jamesb]

I am trying to set specific column width when the ggc load (using the code snippet below) and make specific column non-resizable. However, the ggc produces unexpected result. The column width are no where near what are set and are even out of proportion. Am i using the wrong calls?
this.gridGroupingControl.TableModel.ColWidths["Rate"] = 70; this.gridGroupingControl.TableModel.ColWidths["Total"] = 100;

Hi James,

For Resizable columns :

To change the individual column width manually,You could try this code snippet:

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["parentID"].Width = 175;

//For paticular table.
this.gridGroupingControl1.GetTableDescriptor("Deals").Columns["PaymentAmount"].Width=50;

For Non Resizable columns :

You can handle the QueryColWidth event and set the width of the fixed column. Below is a code snippet.

private void TableModel_QueryColWidth(object sender, GridRowColSizeEventArgs e)
{
GridTableModel model = sender as GridTableModel;
GridTableDescriptor td = model.Table.TableDescriptor;
int index = model.ColIndexToField(e.Index);

if( index != -1 && td.VisibleColumns.Count > index )
{
string ColName = td.VisibleColumns[index].Name;

if( ColName == "ParentName")
{
e.Size = 20;
e.Handled = true;
}
}
}

Thanks,

Neither of the code below is working. When the grid load, the columns are all squished up!

this.gridGroupingControl.TableModel.ColWidths["col"] = 70;

this.gridGroupingControl.TableDescriptor.Columns["col"].Width = 175;
