How to set the width of a column

[Manuel De Leon]

This should have been really easy to do, or at least easy to find in your examples/demos/forums, but here I am asking it.

How can I set the width of a column?

I went to the GridColumnDescriptor Collection Editor, changed the widths of my columns, but they keep resizing based on the contents of the fields.

I also tried a whole bunch of other stuff in the design and via code to no avail.

Hi Manuel,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

The column with can be set using the Width property referred from the GridColumnDescriptor collections. Refer any one of the way to set the Width for the Grid columns.

[C#]
//To set the width uniformly for all the columns.
        foreach (GridColumnDescriptor gcd in this.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns)
        {
            gcd.Width = 90;
        }

//To set it for individual columns.
        this.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[0].Width = 50;
        this.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[1].Width = 50;

Please let me know if these snippets helps you out.

Thanks,
