I realized that the columns width are recalled correctly but readjusted due to shrinkToFit = true. Would it be possible to leave the widths as they are, even with horizontal scrollbars if needed.

Thanks!

Hello,

This is partially true. You can set the new width of the column using two methods – setColProp and setGridWidth.

Here is example of setting new width of the column amount:

$(”#mygrid”).jqGrid('setColProp','amount',{width:new_width});

var gw = $(”#mygrid”).jqGrid('getGridParam','width');

$(”#mygrid”).jqGrid('setGridWidth',gw);

Regards

Tony

P.S. Note that in order to work this a shrinkToFit should be true, or you should call setGridWidth with second parameter true

Hi,

Users like the column widths to be reinstated whenever they come back to their page. I read the documentation but setColProp would not have any effect on width.

As mentioned above the options in colModel can be get or set using the methods getColProp and setColProp. Below are options which can not be changed dynamically when the grid is constructed (If changed they do not have effect or will cause the grid errors). For some of these options there are methods available to change the value.

name

width

resizable

label (method avail.)

Does this mean that we can only set column width at the time of constructing the colModel? We are using jqgrid 3.6

Thanks!
