Scale datagridview proportionally

  • 772

How can I make a datagridview proportionally larger when the form it is on is enlarged? I give examples:

without enlarging

Without expanding:

enlarged Extended:

The difference would be, without expanding the datagridview is smaller than expanded. When I maximize the program it doesn't expand and then the datagridview stays the same size and what I want is for it to get bigger, just like Form1.

Thank you very much and greetings!

    Windows Forms doesn't have very good mechanisms to handle this type of problem.

    What you can do is recalculate the size of the DataGridView in the events Resizeand Shownof the Form.

    Something like that:

    Private Sub Form1_Shown(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Shown
    ResizeControls()
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Resize(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Resize
    ResizeControls()
End Sub

Private Sub ResizeControls()
    DataGridView1.Width = Width - 200
    DataGridView1.Height = Height - 150
End Sub

  2. Click on the grid and you will see that a triangle appears, expand it and select the option to attach to its container, just like the image I show you. enter image description here
