Columns shall be arrange on the available width of nattable [message #1728148]

I want to arrange all columns on the available horizontal size of the nattble.
But if the nattable is resized the columns are not always arrange on the whole available horizontal size, and sometimes also the scrollbars remain visible although it's not necessary.
What can I do to fix the size of all columns on the available horizontal size?

Are you talking about percentage sizing? This can be enabled via DataLayer.

Yes, we use percentage sizing. But it does not always work well.
For example we have two tables with the identical column structure, and one is below the other one, we hide a column of the one table
then the arrangement of the columns can be differed each other, because the table with less columns does not use the whole available horizontal size.

Which layout do you use on the composite that contains your tables?

We use a self implemented layout in the parent composite of the Nattable instance.
Which layout do you prefer?

For me the GridLayout works best
