When I set the AutoSizeColumnsMode = Fill the width of columns covers all area and don't find scroll bar at bottom. But, when I set it as AutoSizeColumnsMode = None then the columns width shrinks.
So, my requirements are:
All space in datagridview should be filled. (should cover all area)
When there is more column, there should appear scroll bar. So, it gives better look. Is there any event or property which I can use ???

I have a DataGrid with a custom theme. Right now, if I resize a column and make it wider, it tries to squeeze other columns to make space for this column.
Instead, is it possible to increase the width of the entire DataGrid with the increase in width of a column. It's OK if it shows a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom.
EDIT: Just to clarify, each column has a MinWidth set to it. So if the overall width > window width, I see a scrollbar. But in cases where I have a datagrid <= window width, and I expand one of its column, the width of the datagrid should theoritically increase at the point when the other columns have shrunk to their MinWidths. At that point, instead of letting the DataGrid grow in width, it doesn't let me expand the column any further. Instead, I want the DataGrid to expand and accommodate the increased space.
It sounds like one of your columns has a Width="*", which means that column is assigned to all remaining space and grows/shrinks as needed instead of letting the DataGrid grow/shrink as requested and showing it's HorizontalScrollBar.
The datagrid's default behaviour is the one you need! If your Datagrid is not showing a horizontal scrollbar maybe because it's contained in a control that's constraining its width. Try to put it inside a Grid, and be sure that you haven't set the 'Width' property of any control (including the Window) that is containing it.
that's what column's MinWidth is designed for. Just set it for the columns, which you don't want to shrink. to limit the max width of the grid use the ScrollViewer:)
I realized something annoying when using a data grid view control. When I try to set the cell's height by setting the RowTemplate height property to fit more records on the grid, the vertical scroll bar stops acting nicely and the grid doesnt display all the records (it only shows the records that fit on the available space plus one extra record!) until you resize the columns or something like that! But if I set the AutoSizeRowsMod property to AllCells the grid displays all the records, however the cell's height is now too big for me!
Is there a way to control the cell's height and still show all the records on the DGV? Does it even make sense that it's behaving this way?
Thanks
Is it possible to use WinForms layout engine to set up a form in such a way that the height is adjusted completely automatically to fit the content, but the width would be adjustable by the user?
As an example, consider the following somewhat contrived form:
TLP: TableLayoutPanel, with 1 row and 2 columns.
label1: Label, contained in the left column. Set Text to something long, AutoSize to false, Dock to Fill.
button1: Button, contained in the right column. Set AutoSize to true.
Now set the row to "AutoSize", the first column to "100%" and the second column to "AutoSize".
Finally, set the whole TLP to AutoSize true, AutoSizeMode to GrowAndShrink.
At this point, the TLP could reasonably be resized horizontally, but WinForms doesn't seem to allow this.
The idea is that the form containing this TLP would grow or shrink vertically based on the width, which the user can change by resizing the window as usual.
Hopefully you have got the solution by now. But in case anybody having a same query, You can set width of Maximum Size Property to the Actual Width of the Form and the Height of MaximumSize to 0.
This is entirely possible. To do this, you have to override SetBoundsCore on your form. In this you can then control the height such that it doesn't change when a resize might want it to. Just store the height you want it to be in a variable and then have your override always set it to that. This way, when you auto-size the height, you save the new height aware before setting form Height and SetBoundsCore will honour that new height.
I'm using a DataGridView in VB.Net in VS 2005. The issue is, when there are rows that exceed the width of the DataGridView, the horizontal scroll bar doesn't appear (the ScrollBars property is set to "Both"), but an ellipsis appears at the end of each row that is too long. I don't want the ellipsis, but the horizontal scroll bar. The vertical scroll bar works as expected when the number of rows exceed the height of the DataGridView. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
I have tried setting numerous related properties (changing the AutoSizing property of the DataGridView, Resizability of the Row Template, made sure that no Columns were Frozen) to no avail.
Thanks!
Set the AutoSizeMode of the problematic column to AllCells.
This will resize the column header and force it to go out of the visible area thus displaying the horizotal scrollbar.
I just had the same issue. I had set the last column to Fill, so it was always resizing to fit to the visible area.
I have a dialog with column down the right side filled with buttons. The dialog is built with Windows Forms. I have a mockup at the following link:original dialog
(I would have included it but apparently i'm not allowed to use image tags)
I would like for the buttons in the right column to resize themselves to fill the remaining vertical space when the dialog resizes. It doesn't particularly matter to me whether or not buttons simply increase in size or whether the buttons remain the same size while the gaps between them increase. I'm simply want the buttons to go from the top to the bottom. (I have a mockup for this as well but apparenlty i can only include one link)
I've tried hosting the buttons in a FlowLayoutPanel but they do not increase as the dialog stretches, I only get whitespace at the bottom after I run out of buttons. I also tried a TableLayoutPanel and had the same result but I may have misused it. Does anyone have any ideas how I could accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
To get you started. Use the TableLayoutPanel, set its Anchor property to top, bottom, left, and right. Set the rows and columns to percentages as needed. I suggest each control have it own cell. Note that each control in a "cell" can have its Dock and Anchor property set as needed.
You can do this with a TableLayoutPanel. Create a column for the buttons, with each button having it's own row / cell in the column. Set each row to be an even percentage for height (if there are 10 buttons, each row would be 10%), and dock the TableLayoutPanel to the right side of the screen. Then, put the buttons into their rows and set them to full docking. Then, when the dialog expands, the TableLayoutPanel will expand to fill the entire right side of the screen, each row will adjust proportionally, and each button would expand to fit the new row size.
You may have to adjust this a bit to fit your needs, especially in how it relates to the other content in the window.
