Hi all,
Within controls such a RadGridView, is there a simple way like a property to mark a column as able to decrease or increase its width when the scrollbar is displayed or hidden, so that the set of columns would always fill all the parent control width without either overwritting the last column right part when the vertical scroolbar is shown or having to show some unused reserved space when the scrollbar is hidden.
I understand that it is always possible to use events to manually adjust each width for each control, but this is very cumbersome.
Wouldn't it nice to have a control overall property such as (hypothetically) gridview.AdjustColumnWidthToScrollBarDisplay ?
Or what is the simplest method ?
Thanks for your answers
Patrick

Hello, Patrick,
Columns can automatically fill the entire width of the grid. Just set the AutoSizeColumnsMode property of the desired template to GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill.
Additional information about the columns resizing options in RadGridView is available here:
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi Dess,
This works fine. However, I didn't find any explanation regarding how the adjustment is done.
As I am using fixed size columns, how could I ensure that the width adjustment is done on a specific column (let's say the 'product name' one as an example).
Thanks
Patrick
Hi, Patrick,
Usually, the width adjustment is distributed proportionally to the columns when the AutoSizeColumnsMode property is set to Fill. If you want to ensure minimum width for a certain column, note that you can set the column's MinWidth.The following help articles gives more details on this topic:
I hope it will be helpful.
