I have been looking for an answer to this for awhile and haven't found what I am looking for. I have a GridView with 5 columns. One of those columns is a very long string with instead of " ". I need to be able to fix the width of the column and have word wrap take care of the string till the end of it. I have tried all the properties on the gridview to get what I need but the span always stretches out horizontally and never wraps. Here is my gridView code
i am having a boundfield column and in that column if i entered a string(without spaces) of length 15, there is no problem. But if the string is more than 15, the text is not wrapped. I gave the command column.ItemStyle.Wrap=true; But its not working. I have fixed the width of the column. How to wrap the text in the boundfield if a string more 15 characters.
I have a ASP.NET gridview (embedded into a DIV) with several columns. For some columns line wraps are definied and for some not(with ItemStyle.Wrap = true/false). For all columns ItemStyle.Width is set to a specific value. Now I am wondering, that there is a line wrap in a column, where ItemStyle.Wrap = false. What could be the reason for that?
I have a GridView, in which the width of each column is dynamic and changes depending on the dataset. I need to get the width of each column for use in my PDF exporter, but the column/cells width is always '0', presumably because I haven't set the width property.
i have multiline textbox (word wrap property is true). if user type enter(for new line) or put space i can save into database as exactly as it is.(i 'm talking about text format) the problem is if user type not any "enter"(for new line) still textbox word wrap property works fine but when i save into database and read it, it is endless line(there isn't any line break)... i need to put new line character at word wrap points. is there any easy slutions?
I'm using VS 2010. I have a GridView with few template columns. I want the 2nd column to not be visible at all, but still to be existed so javascript will be able to see it's value. Does someone knows how to set this width value?
I am using DetailsView to pull database records and want to set the word wrap on the Edit page. But when I enter Edit the data shows up as a single long text string, (see pics). In the default display the text wraps fine. I have played with every option that is available even trying to set the field to a TemplateField but nothing I do displays the Edit test wrapped.
This is the edit page, notice that the Info field text is just a straight line.
don't work because the columns are created dynamically. I cannot believe there isn't a way to do this short of manually creating each column and filling each row.
I have a gridview that I need to get the width of columns for after the gridview is databound. I have to have AutoGenerateColumns=true because the columns for the datatable that the gridview is bound to is not going to be fixed. The problem I'm having is the gridview columns collection is not populated when AutoGenerateColumns is true. Is there anyway I can get the width of each column after the gridview is databound? I've tried using RowDataBound and going through the tablecells but the width is 0 for every column.
I want to set header column width for grid view. I tried HeaderStyle-Width="30px". But it is depending on Item columns. The column width is setting based on item value. But I want fixed width even if it has value or empty.
How can I set GridView column width? I would like to show "Edit", "Delete" and "Details" links in the same row. Currently these links are wrapped in three different lines.
1) I have a template field with the HeaderText ="WheelChair" that has a checkbox. Just for checkbox its taking the width that of the HeaderText. How do I set the width of this column just enough to fit the checkbox or how do I break the HeaderText of such columns.
2) Also I have another column 'Address ' . I don't want to wrap the content in such columns.
However the the column in the gridview is dynamic created which might more or less depend on system logic.
I have try to set the column width in row_created event, rowDataBound event, but it show me that no column is available by using gridview.columns.count.
I have been searching the internet for a solution to this for hours. I have tried all of the following methods to set the column width on my GridView control:
1. <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ColumnHeader" ItemStyle-Width="100px"> 2. <ItemStyle Width="100px" Wrap="False" /> 3. GridView.Columns[0].ItemStyle.Width = 100 both on the PageLoad event and, out of desperation, on the RowDataBound event.
I have tried these settings by themselves and in combination. I have also experimented with different CSS width settings for the GridView and its containing <div> (including none) to no avail. The GridView columns are always equally spaced and wrap the row description text in the first column in a rather ugly fashion. As this needs to be fixed for a presentation to a client on Monday, I would be eternally grateful to anyone who could point me in the right direction.
I am trying to set the width of each column within my gridview. Problem is that none of it is working. I have tried setting the whole grid view to 100% and then break down each individual column to a certain percentage, tried manually adjusting Header Width, Item Style width, tried setting it in code, I have tried just about everything and the column doesn't want to budge. The only time I can adjust the width of the column/cell is when I do it in SQL, but because they are requesting the tooltip to preview the comment I would like to pursue my options doing it on the page itself.
//Code protected void grdComments_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) {//Setting the tooltip for the comment column and column width. grdComments.Columns[3].ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(100); //e.Row.Cells[3].Width = Unit.Pixel(100); e.Row.Cells[3].Wrap = false; e.Row.Cells[3].Style["overflow"] = "hidden"; e.Row.Cells[3].Style["text-overflow"] = "ellipsis"; e.Row.Cells[3].ToolTip = e.Row.Cells[3].Text; }
to setting the length of the lblContol in the template but no matter what I do the column size automatically increases beyond my fixed size to meet the size of the longest cell in the bound datatable.
