Resize to fit a Grid control column

[ali]

Hi,
I want to resize to fit the column width by longest text of that particular column when double clicking on the column header border (want to work as normal windows like grid).
plz help me out abt this.

Hi Ali,

To resize to fit a particular range of cells (could be a row, col or table or several rows or whatever), you use the ResizeToFit method which is a member of the GridControl.ColWidths and GridControl.RowHeights classes.



So, to resize the widths of all cells in column 1, use

this.gridControl1.ColWidths.ResizeToFit(GridRangeInfo.Col(1));

To resize the heights of the range (1,1) to (4,5), use

this.gridControl1.RowHeights.ResizeToFit( GridRangeInfo.Cells(1,1,4,5));

Please let me know if this helps.

Hi Ali,

You can handle ResizingColumns event of GridControl and can check for the e.Reason. Please see the code:

this.gridControl1.ResizingColumns += new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridResizingColumnsEventHandler(gridControl1_ResizingColumns);



void gridControl1_ResizingColumns(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridResizingColumnsEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Reason == Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridResizeCellsReason.DoubleClick)
MessageBox.Show("Fired");
}

Hi Jisha,

Thank you for your support and help.
I have tried with the code wich u have mentioned earlier.

Here is my code

private void syncGrdCtrl1_ResizingColumns(object sender, GridResizingColumnsEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Reason == GridResizeCellsReason.DoubleClick)
{
syncGrdCtrl1.ColWidths.ResizeToFit(GridRangeInfo.Col(e.Columns.Left));
}
}

for getting the column Index i took the e.Columns.Left ( as well as the .Right).

the event is firing but the columns still remain without any change. I even tried with a fixed column Index (instead of e.Columns.Left, i have given 2).

Thanks,
Ali PP
