How can I resize a single row in DevExpress XtraGrid (Winforms)?

created 12 years ago

When I try to resize a single row, all rows are resized, I want to make sure that only a single row is resized when I use my pointer to increase row's height. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish that? I'm using DevExpress DXperience 12.1.

Extra Info:
The grid has properties: AllowRowSizing and RowAutoHeight. Setting AllowRowSizing to "true" enables the user to click and resize the row of the gridview but, when the row is droped, all rows in the gridview are resized; that's something I want to prevent from happening. Just like Excel, only the row, I'm trying to resize with the pointer, should change its size, instead of having all the rows resized accordingly. I hope I could clarify the situation here.

Hello Umais,
You can change the GridView's RowHeight by using the GridView's CalcRowHeight event.
Please refer to GridView.CalcRowHeight Event and see this example How to provide the ability to resize rows. I hope it will be helpful to you.

        Using the CalcRowHeight event works, but only after the grid is being resized.
        How can I force this event to fire ?
        What I want to do is when the user doubleclicks on a row this row should get a larger rowheight than other rows, so I set a private variable to the rowhandle in the doubleclick and in the CalcRowHeight event I check for this private variable.
        This works but only when the grid resizes.
        So I need to fire this event from the DoubleClick event, how can I do that ?
        I tried GridView1.Invalidate() but that does nothing
