I hope it helps. Thank you and have a nice day.

Hi Gaurav Desai,

First of all, May I know your SharePoint Version? Does it using XHTML based? If does, there is still an issue with using Resize Bet Fit under XHTML. However, in HTML page, ResizeBestFit is doing just fine. Also, could you kindly give me screenshot of the result please?

Thank you and have a nice day.

hello Andi,

Thanks for replying. I have tried to resize the column from client side as you suggested in previous reply, but it didnt work for me. i would like to remind you again that we are using the grid in SharePoint web part where we are programatically generating web grid object. The grid is made to hold self reference data. we have also enabled the column freezing feature of the grid. Furthere more, the column which i want to make best fit width, is a part of the freezing columns.

Does it make any diffrence?

I would like you to implement the above scenario and resolve this issue ASAP for me.

Waiting for your kind reply....

Thanks,

G.S

Hi Gaurav Desai,

Yes, we do have a method to set the column to be a best fit width. We can use ResizeBestFit() in client side event.

However, it will only work for one column at a time. That is why we will need to create a looping for every column to use this method. Here is the snippet to do so:

        function window::onload(){
              
              var WebGrid = ISGetObject("WebGrid1");
                                 
              for(var i = 0 ; i< WebGrid.GetRootTable().Columns.length;i++){
                    
                    WebGrid.GetRootTable().Columns[i].ResizeBestFit();
              
              }
              
        }

I hope it helps. Thank you and have a nice day.

We are using WebGrid 7 in a SharePoint web part where we are programatically generating web grid object.

we want one of our web grid columns to resize its width automatically based on it content to best fit the content. Is there any out of the box functionality which caters this requirement ?

Thank you.
