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:
- Set the
SizeMode
property of each column toFixed
. This ensures that the columns will not adjust their width based on their content. - Specify the desired width for each column using the
Width
property. - 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.
