Description

I need to set a specific width for the DataGrid and its columns in a MAUI application. It's essential for the columns to maintain a fixed width, disregarding the content size.

This KB article also answers the following questions:

  • How to set a fixed width for DataGrid columns in MAUI?
  • How to adjust the DataGrid size in MAUI?
  • Can I specify exact column widths for a DataGrid in MAUI?

Solution

To set a fixed width for both the DataGrid and its columns in a MAUI application, follow these steps:

  1. Set the SizeMode property of each column to Fixed. This ensures that the columns will not adjust their width based on their content.
  2. Specify the desired width for each column using the Width property.
  3. Adjust the DataGrid's width by setting the WidthRequest property at the DataGrid level.

Here is an example demonstrating how to configure the DataGrid and its columns with fixed widths:

<telerik:RadDataGrid x:Name="grid" AutoGenerateColumns="False" WidthRequest="300">
    <telerik:RadDataGrid.Columns>
        <telerik:DataGridTextColumn PropertyName="Country" HeaderText="Country" Width="100" SizeMode="Fixed"/>
        <telerik:DataGridTextColumn PropertyName="Capital" HeaderText="Capital" Width="200" SizeMode="Fixed"/>
    </telerik:RadDataGrid.Columns>
</telerik:RadDataGrid>

In this setup, the DataGrid will have a total width of 300 units, while the columns for "Country" and "Capital" will have fixed widths of 100 and 200 units, respectively.
