With the Grid's column settings, I had my first and last columns LockedWidth set to true. They are actually my icons.
I have my grid AutoFitStyle set to ResizeAllColumns because I want my grid to fit on the screen no matter what. Other columns will expand or shrink other than the locked columns.
The problem is the Locked columns resize with the grid.
How can I make those columns width really fixed?
Set the MinWidth and MaxWidth of the locked columns to the same value - the Width of the column. The AutoFitStyle will honor those.
Changes in resize event gets overriden after the grid is resized. I was hoping there's an AfterResize event.
The LockedWidth property only prevents the user from resizing the column by dragging the right edge, it doesn't have any bearing on the AutoFitStyle functionality.
I tried setting AutoFitStyle to 'ResizeAllColumns' and handling the Resize event to force the width of the first and last columns to some fixed value; it wasn't perfect because the column width is changed before the event fires, but you might want to try this and see if you can live with it.
