How do I make a DevExpress GridControl column fill remaining space in the grid?

Question

I have a GridControl where the first column is "Name", whose width I need to be variable, followed by several other columns whose width remains constant. If I was using the Telerik DataGridView, I would set the column width to *, but the DevExpress control doesn't allow that for the column width. It has no converter.

When the grid expands or contracts horizontally, I need the "Name" column to do the same, proportionately. Do I have to do this in code-behind? I really like my WPF basic CRUD to use as little code as possible.

How do I achieve this?

I haven't used DevExpress for a while, but I think you can use for your 'Name' Column GridColumn.BestFit

For the rest, you can use FixedWidth
