MultiSelect Checkbox column causes horizontal scrollbar to be visible

[dhrothParticipant]

We have a grid that is configured to use the multiselect checkbox column. The grid width is configured to 100% to take up the available space on the page. All of the defined columns in the grid have percentage widths so that they add up to 100%. But the multiselect checkbox column forces a horizontal scrollbar. What is the recommended way to prevent the horizontal scrollbar from appearing in this situation. The desire is to have the defined columns to take up 100% of the space that is left after the checkbox column. Is there an API that we can call to have the grid adjust the column widths accordingly. The autoresizecolumns API didn’t seem to do the trick. We are using version 3.3.

Thanks. At this time, we are not able to upgrade. We need to look into that on a release boundary.

However, we have found a workaround that seems to address the issue. If we implement a “ready” callback and call “setcolumnproperty” changing the width property for one of the columns to “auto”, the horizontal scrollbar does not appear and the columns resize appropriately when the browser window is resized.

When we get a chance to upgrade, we can then remove the workaround.
