Thanks for the response, although I'm not quite sure it's what I'm looking for. Let me clarify my issue using the two attached screenshots.

In the "NoCheckboxColumn" image, you can see the grid that I'm working with. You'll notice that the last column ("Jun") spans almost the entire way to the right edge of the grid (there is a small gap for the scroll bar). You can also see that there are 4 columns available in the select list that are not currently visible. This has been done by setting Visible=false on the server side during the page load.

Now examine the "CheckBoxColumn" image. Notice that list of available columns now contains an extra column ("Consumed"), which is a CheckBox column. Like the other columns, I've set Visible=false on the server side during the page load. However, there is a much larger gap between the "Jun" column and the right edge of the grid. This gap is the same width as the new CheckBox column that is supposed to be invisible.

Is there some reason why the invisible Checkbox column causes a gap on the right side, but the Text columns do not? Or do I need to hide Checkbox columns using a different mechanism?

NOTE: I must hide the columns on the server side, so the client side code you have provided does not solve this issue.

Hello, I have tried a simple sample but I couldn't replicate your issue here. would you attach a simple runable sample of your issue?

Attached is my simple sample.

Hi,

I have taken your sample and modified it to show the issue that I'm having. In my application, I always add the columns to the WebGrid in the InitializeLayout method, rather than putting them in markup. So, I moved the columns out of the markup in your example. I have also added a second grid to show the issue more clearly.

Both of the grids have the same base columns, and both have e.Layout.AutoFitColumns=true. The two grids are equivalent in every way, except the type of the invisible column.

On the top grid, there is an invisible text column ("ShipRegion"). You'll notice that the AutoFitColumns successfully expands all of the visible columns to fill the width of the grid.

The bottom grid has an invisible checkbox column ("Checks"). Unlike the first grid, AutoFitColumns does NOT expand all of the visible columns to fill the width of the grid. Instead, there is a gap on the right side that is equal to the size of the invisible column.

Thanks.

Hello Questica,

Excellent! Thank you Riendy.

When will SP1 be available?

Hi Questica,

Our developer still work hard to finish SP1 package. We hope this week we'll be ready to release SP1 package.

Thank you for your patience.
Riendy

Riendy,

I have downloaded SP1 of WebGrid (7.0.7200.430), and updated the DLLs in the example used above to demonstrate this issue. Unfortunately, this issue still exists, exactly as described above.

I have attached the updated sample which shows the same issue, even using the updated DLLs for WebGrid.

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong, or if this issue still exists.

Thanks.

Hi Questica,

You did not do something wrong. This issue has been fixed, but it still exist on build 430. Deeply apologize for this incident. Anyway, I have send a nightly build WebGrid (7.0.7200.431) to support@questica.com.

Would you please let me know whether this issue still exists in build 431 or not? For your information, I tried your sample in build 431 (WebGrid.png) and it runs perfectly.

Regards.
Riendy
