It works like a charm!

Thank you very much Mike.

Hi,

Try this:

Okay, in ColumnLayout mode, you are not really resizing the row, you are resizing the cell (which, of course, affects the height of the row). So you just have to turn that off, too.

        private void ultraGrid1_InitializeLayout(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.InitializeLayoutEventArgs e)
        {
            UltraGridLayout layout = e.Layout;
            UltraGridBand band = layout.Bands[0];
            UltraGridOverride ov = layout.Override;
            band.RowLayoutStyle = RowLayoutStyle.ColumnLayout;            
            ov.RowSizingArea = RowSizingArea.RowSelectorsOnly;            
            ov.AllowRowLayoutCellSizing = RowLayoutSizing.Horizontal;            
        }

Hi Gianni,

There are two possibilities here.

1) Something else in your code is re-setting the RowSizingArea after you set it.

What I would do is just put a button on the form that displays the property setting and click that button at run-time to make sure RowSizingArea is still set to RowSelectorsOnly. If not, then you know something in your code is changing it.

Maybe you are already setting this property in your code somewhere else.

Or maybe you are loading a layout or a preset into the grid.

2) Some other property setting on your grid is overriding this setting. I don't think there is any such setting, but perhaps I am wrong or there is a setting I am not thinking of. The only thing I can think of that might cause the grid to ignore this property is if you are using RowLayouts. I would think the property would still work, but maybe I am wrong about that.

Hi Mike,
I'm sorry to proposed you a silly test. Uhfh!, you're right, setting dataSource after the event subscription it works.
So I can't understand why is not working in my real app.
I subscripted the event in the constructor before set any data. If I put a breakpoint on the line where I set the RowSizingArea I can see that it will be hit.
Is there anything I can check, observe or be aware of?

This thing is driving me crazy.

Probably some setting could interferes with the area row, but I can not isolated it.

To be sure I also tried to put a timer (tick each second) that execute following code:

foreach (UltraGridBand band in this.ultraGridStructureView.DisplayLayout.Bands)
  band.Override.RowSizingArea = RowSizingArea.RowSelectorsOnly;

but no effect. Debugging I can see that band.Override.RowSizingArea is set to "RowSelectorsOnly" , exactly as I want, but on the UI is still possible to resize row by row-border with the arrow cursor that come up...

A so little malfunction and so big frustration.

Please let me know any ideas you can have.

thank you one more time
Gianni
