Feature Request: max-width

[PietervkParticipant]

Please let me know if this is not the right spot, but I have a request for a useful feature for the grid: max-width. If this can be achieved in another way, I would be happy to know.
If I now specify a width that is at least the total column size, there is no scrollbar, even if the window size is too small to show the total grid. So I either have to have a smaller width with always showing a scrollbar, or specify a percentage for the grid width and no width for the last column. However that percentage could be too large on large windows.

So I came up with the following proposal

max-width: value. The width will be the total size of the columns, but not exceeding the specified max-width. If the column widths exceed the max-width, a scrollbar will appear.
max-width: percentage. Like with a fixed width, but now the maximum will be a percentage of the window width.

Benefit: simple responsive behavior.

Thanks for a great product!

Hi Pietervk,

You can also achieve this feature without using of max-width property.
Just create the grid in a div container with max-width and set widget’s width to be 100%.

Thanks ivailo, that comes close, with using a margin: 0 auto 0 auto.
I still have to calculate the sum of all the columns every time I decide to make a change to a column, and as I am lazy, having the build in max-width property would still be helpful.

I will use your solution for now.
