I have a WPF DataGrid (from the WPFToolkit package) like the following in my application.
<Controls:DataGrid>
<Controls:DataGrid.Columns>
<Controls:DataGridTextColumn Width="1*" Binding="{Binding Path=Column1}" Header="Column 1" />
<Controls:DataGridTextColumn Width="1*" Binding="{Binding Path=Column2}" Header="Column 2" />
<Controls:DataGridTextColumn Width="1*" Binding="{Binding Path=Column3}" Header="Column 3" />
</Controls:DataGrid.Columns>
</Controls:DataGrid>
The column width should be automatically adjusted such that all three columns fill the width of the grid, so I set Width="1*"
on every column. I encountered two problems with this approach.
- When the
ItemsSource
of the DataGrid isnull
or an empty List, the columns won't size to fit the width of the grid but have a fixed width of about 20 pixel. Please see the following picture:http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/3139/initialcolumnwidth.png
- When I maximize the application window, the columns won't adapt their size but keep their initial size. See the following picture:

- When I resize the application window with the mouse, the columns won't resize.
I was able to solve problem #3 by deriving a sub class from DataGrid and override the DataGrid's OnRenderSizeChanged
method as follows.
protected override void OnRenderSizeChanged(SizeChangedInfo sizeInfo)
{
base.OnRenderSizeChanged(sizeInfo);
foreach (var column in Columns)
{
var tmp = column.GetValue(DataGridColumn.WidthProperty);
column.ClearValue(DataGridColumn.WidthProperty);
column.SetValue(DataGridColumn.WidthProperty, tmp);
}
}
Unfortunately this does not solve problems #1 and #2. How can I get rid of them?
