I'm developing a web application and I'm using a lot of grid. I'm trying to avoid having a lot of customization for each one of them. I'd like that the grid set each column's initial width based on the content. I. e.:
Short name NameJF John FooAB Ana Bar
All values for 'Short name' are 2 chars long, and the longest value for 'Name' is 'John Foo' with 8 chars. So in this case, the grid should set 'Short name' column's width to 20%, and 'Name' column's width to 80%.
In case this functionality does not exisist, could you give me some clues so I know where to start building it?
Thanks,Diego
Hi,
Thank you for posting in Infragistics forums! Currently we are working towards improving this functionality. You can expect it in one of our future Service Releases. Until then you can set the width of the columns manually in grid’s options.
Kind regards, Petko Zhekov Software Developer

Is there any way I can keep updated about this feature progress?

Hello Petko, thanks for the update on this.
I've downloaded and installed the new version (v 15.1.20151.2112 as I can see in infragistics.core.js). However I still can't get the behavior I'm looking for.
I've tried both auto-generating the columns and setting up the columns array (this is the one I really need). In the second case I didn't set any width manually for each column. Anyway, the columns are always sized proportionally to the total amount of columns, and not to their content.
Am I doing something wrong?
