Thanks again. Need to be tested, but I think moving to 3.5 is better.

The problem seems to be in the setGridWidth function. I think the code that has “the problem” is:

[code]

cw = shrink !== true ? $(”tr:first th:eq(”+i+”)”,$t.grid.hDiv).css(”width”) : this.width;
                    w = Math.floor((IENum(nwidth)-IENum(testdata[2]))/IENum(testdata[0])*IENum(cw));
                    chw += w;

[/code]

The variable cw seems to be some kind of additional value used when computing the width of the resized column, and if shrik parameter is false, it takes the value from the declared column  width.

The problem is the line

[code] w = Math.floor((IENum(nwidth)-IENum(testdata[2]))/IENum(testdata[0])*IENum(cw)); [/code]

, that computes w to be the resized column  width, using the above cw as “parameter” value. Even if the testdata[2]  variable is set to be 0 when shrink is false, the value w that later is used to set the column width gets an altered value from the original.

So I modified the above code to be :

[code]

cw = shrink !== true ? $(”tr:first th:eq(”+i+”)”,$t.grid.hDiv).css(”width”) : this.width;
                    w = 0;
                    if(shrink == true)
                    {
                        w = Math.floor((IENum(nwidth)-IENum(testdata[2]))/IENum(testdata[0])*IENum(cw));
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        w = IENum(cw);
                    }

[/code]

This way w always gets the original column width, and the column width is not altered.

I think the testdata variable has something to do with the above calculations, but I didn't looked further into this problem. The above modifications solved my issue. The “bad” part is that if you want to modify you have to used the unpacked .js files, or modify it and then repack it again (I don't know how to do that).

I don't claim that the modification that I made solves the issue of shrinkToFit, it is just a minor adjustment that I made so the column width remains the same.

Hello,

Thanks. If I look into the code right now - there is a really problem with this.

Let me to try to correct this.

Hi , did you managed to resolve the issue or find a workaround ? I was needing this feature for a work project.

Hello,

Also use the second parameter in setGridWidth - see Docs.

Tony,

According to the docs, the second parameter "has the same behavior as shrinkToFit". The description of "shrinkToFit" in the docs says, "If the value is false and the value in width option is set then: The width of the grid is the width set in option. The column width are not recalculated and have the values defined in colModel."

This "shrinkToFit = false" behavior is what I am trying to get. I don't want the columns to resize whenever I call setGridWidth.

If you look at my code, I am setting the second parameter to "false" on this line...

$(”#gridContainer”).setGridWidth(200, false);

I have tried setting the parameter to "true", but that doesn't do what I want either.

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I also have this problem of resizing. I set "shrinkToFit" to false and I called setGridWidth with second parameter = "false". All the columns in colModel have the "width" parameter set. After the resizing of the grid, all the columns are resized too, acording to the new grid size.

The thing that I want to do is to resize the grid and don't resize the columns, so that the horizontal scrollbar appears, and user may scroll and view the full contents of the cells.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards

I am trying to dynamically resize a grid using the "setGridWidth" method. When I call "setGridWidth" on a grid to make the size of the grid smaller, it appears to resize the columns in the grid to fit the new grid width, even if I have "shrinkToFit" set to false. After reading the documentation on shrinkToFit, I expected the column widths to not be changed after the grid was resized.

I really want the column widths to stay their original sizes after setGridWidth is called. Is this a bug, is there some workaround, or am I just not understanding how shrinkToFit works?

Here is an example that reproduces the issue. Clicking the "Click Me" button will resize the grid to a smaller size, causing the columns to resize...

Thanks for your help.
