Column widths

[NicolaiMember]

Hi,
I’m not really sure I understand how column width works.
How do I make it fit the content of the cell?
If I leave at auto (default), cells/columns seems to be both much larger and much smaller than their content.

Hi Nicolai,

When you do not set the width property, the column would fill the remaining space. For setting the width, you can use number, percentage or pixels to set the property. You can also use the “autoresizecolumns” method in order to automatically resize the Grid columns to fit to the cells and headers text. http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgrid/autoresizecolumns.htm?web

I have some issues with this, perhaps it is due to another error I seem to get.
If I set columnresize to true, I get the following error:

Error: jqxGrid: Missing references to the following module(s): jqxgrid.columnsresize.js [http://localhost:53094/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.js:7]

However, in my page, I have the resize script 🙁

<script src="/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.columnsresize.js"></script>

Any ideas on my columnresize issues?

Hi Nicolai,

When did you add the Script – before or after jqxgrid.js ?

I added it before.
And in the end, I add my own gridview script, which is bascially all the functions to get data, initialize and so on.

I have actually added ALL scripts from the jqwidgets folder, to my page 🙂

Hi Nicolai,

You should add it after jqxgrid.js because jqxgrid.columnsresize.js is a Module which Extends jqxgrid.js so if you add it before, there would be nothing to be extended.

Ah of course, makes sense.

Thank you! Everything is working now.
