To reproduce: -set AutoSizeMode to Fill - Add view definition with two rows - Add check box column to the view -Set check box column minWidth Workaround: Create a custom view definition, then create a custom ColumnGroupRowLayout class and override the GetClumnWidth method like this: class MyViewDefinition : ColumnGroupsViewDefinition { public MyViewDefinition() { } public override IGridRowLayout CreateRowLayout() { return new MyRowLayout(this); } } public class MyRowLayout : ColumnGroupRowLayout { public MyRowLayout(ColumnGroupsViewDefinition view):base(view) { } public override int GetColumnWidth(GridViewColumn column) { return Math.Max( base.GetColumnWidth(column), column.MinWidth); } }
