Render ASP.NET GridView Control with Resizable Column Header
3 Comments Published by John Eric Sobrepena on Jan 9, 2010
Make the column headers of ASP.NET GridView control user-resizable with this three easy steps.
- Download the JavaScript file from here.
- Include the JavaScript file into your ASPX page.
- Finally, initialize the component for your GridView control by inserting this JavaScript code at the end of your ASPX page.
var _ResizeTableHeaderDecorator = new ResizeTableHeaderDecorator({ GridID: "<%=GridView1.ClientID %>" });Replace "GridView1" by the ID of the GridView control you want to enable column resizing.
