Fit grid columns to the grid size

Hi,

I want to have a Data Bound grid with a default behaviour that when I attach a table with N number of columns it should use all the size allocated to the grid.

Right now it's so happening that I have a larger grid size defined and columns are not covering all the defined area of the grid and it's looking odd.

I think this behaviour is present in GGC. Could you tell me which properties to set to get this behaviour?

Please provide any solution.. Basically I need an AutoFit behaviour: given the size of the grid and columns, the grid should atuomatically fit the columns using all the space provided.

Thanks,
Dheeraj

Hi Dheeraj,

Please use this sample code handling TableModel.QueryColWidth and SizeChanged event to see if that meets your requirements:

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.QueryColWidth +=new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridRowColSizeEventHandler(TableModel_QueryColWidth);
this.gridGroupingControl1.SizeChanged +=new EventHandler(gridGroupingControl1_SizeChanged);

private void TableModel_QueryColWidth(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridRowColSizeEventArgs e)
{
int last = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.VisibleColumns.Count;
if(e.Index == (last + this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.GroupedColumns.Count))
{
e.Size = (this.gridGroupingControl1.Width - ((this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.VisibleColumns.TotalWidth -1)+ (this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.GroupedColumns.Count * this.gridGroupingControl1.TableOptions.IndentWidth)));
e.Handled = true;
}
}

private void gridGroupingControl1_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.Refresh();
}

Hi Haneef,

Could you provide the code for DataBoundGrid. I don't see this snippet will compile for DataBoundGrid.

Hi Dheeraj,

Here is a KB on percentage sizing the columns in a GridDataBoundGrid.

We are using this code with some modification. Thank you!
