Radgrid Filter popup width

Hi, I know this is an old post, but I am trying to accomplish the same in my GridView w/o success.  Mine is a vb.net winforms app.

I tried both the FilterPopupInitialized event:

Private Sub RadGridView1_FilterPopupInitialized(sender As Object, e As FilterPopupInitializedEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.FilterPopupInitialized

        DirectCast(e.FilterPopup, BaseFilterPopup).MinimumSize = New System.Drawing.Size(400, 400)
    End Sub

And the FilterPopupRequired event:

  Private Sub RadGridView1_FilterPopupRequired(sender As Object, e As FilterPopupRequiredEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.FilterPopupRequired
        MessageBox.Show("Hello World")
    End Sub

Neither event fires, I added breakpoints and never hit them.

I'm probably missing something simple, I would be grateful for any help.

Thanks,

-Steve

Hristo,

Thanks for sending the example.  It appears that we are not trying to accomplish the same thing.

I've included a picture of my RadGrid.  You will note that the column width for column "Home Dept" is proper to display the data.  However, when the user clicks the dropdown list to select valid Home Departments for filtering he cannot read the options as the dropdown is too narrow.

I could solve this by changing the width of the column so that it is wide enough to display the dropdown, but of course that results in much wasted space on the grid.

Is there any way to allow the dropdown selections to be wide while retaining the current column width ?

Thanks,

-Steve

Perfect !!!

That is exactly what I was looking for.  

Thank you for your help,

Hello, Reddy,

If I understand you correctly, you would like to be able to resize the popup of a GridViewComboBoxColumn. To achieve this you can handle the CellEditorInitialized event and set the DropDownSizingMode of RadDropDownListEditor. The sizing mode offers an enumeration of several options.

private void RadGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Column is GridViewComboBoxColumn)
    {
        RadDropDownListEditor editor = (RadDropDownListEditor)this.radGridView1.ActiveEditor;
        editor.DropDownSizingMode = SizingMode.UpDownAndRightBottom;
    }
}

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to contact us.

Hello, Reddy,

It is not clear which filtering mechanism you use: basic filtering or Excel-like filtering. Can you please clarify this?

In Excel-like filtering the filtering menu items are displayed in a custom filter form which is resizable out-of-the-box. See the attached gif file. However, if you are using basic filtering it displays a simple RadDropDownMenu and it is not resizable.

I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
