Forms Data Controls :: Can't Change Width Of Columns
Jan 30, 2010
I have a gridview that was quite easy to setup and pull all the reqested database info from an object data source in my BLL. However for the life of me I cannot get any of the columns to change there widths. If I change the columns footer, header, and item style to something around 50px or as large as 5000px it will not change whatsoever. The gridview width as a whole is left blank. Currently I have a phone number column that is the default column size that is overflowing the entire grid. Is there some trick to adjusting column widths in a gridview? It should be as simple as going to the smart tag, editing columns, and changing each ones style to the width I want?
.I am new to asp.net.Is there any way we can limi the width of the gridview in the design mode.
I have to put 15-20 columns on the gridview.When I add columns to gridview the width shoots out of the page and the page design is seems ruined.
i placed it inside the panel and added scrol bars to it. it looks ok when debuggin i.e looks ok in internet explorer but in design mode it ruins the page design.
how to set the fixed value with the columns in a grid view? my code works fine if you have normal words with space. If the length of the whole field is more than its width, It would come to the next line. But If we type big word without any space like "WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW", It would by default increase the width and disturbs the layout.
I have a GridView with bound columns, for which I am manually setting the ItemWidth and HeaderWidth to 500px, and nothing happens. Is there some trick to getting this to work?
This is a column a large amount of text in it, and it keeps sizing to the width of the header text, which is simply "note". I don't want to set Wrap to false, becuase then the colummn could be thousands of px wide in cases.
You know how when you put your cursor over the line that seperates 2 columns of a grid, the cursor turns into a 2 headed arrow and allows you to adjust the width of the column? How do you allow this with a gridview?
It's basically how to create an editable gridview.
I've got it up and working, but I need to change the width/height of the textboxes when the gridview is in edit mode.
The problem is, when the textboxes are rendered, they don't have ID's so I can't use FindControl to modify the textboxes.
Adding textboxes in the template items just created an independant - textbox that doesn't do anything.
My question is, how can I find these textboxes & change their height/widths, or how can I find these textboxes & assign ID's to them...so I can modify their height/widths?
Here's a snippet of what I've been playing with....haven't had any luck though...I'm probably way off:
i hav a dyanmically generated gridview with autogenerated columns = true.. i want to change the width of a column of a grid... i tried to do it in row databound event as...
e.Row.Cells[1].Width = Unit.Pixel(300);
but it doesnt work... and since d columns are genrated dynamically i cant set d width as grd.columns[0].width =...
in this artical your using 3 text box inside the grid for searching grid data .my question how to fix the size of these textbox? because of this textbox what i am using in my grid, my gridview became so large.and even its not looking good.
I have a dropdown list in a gridview field. The DataValueField for the ddl is an 8 digit item code. The text to display through will be quite longer, 40-60 characters because it will combine the item code and item name into a single string. I don't want the dropdownlist field to be that wide though, only what is displayed when the ddl is selected.In Access you can set the width property of the list to display wider than the field itself. Is there that capability in ASP.NET and if so where do I find it?
Is there any way to set the width of a GridView to a pre-determined width?
I have set the width of the gridview and all the columns to a % and then to a number of pixels but it does work. The gridview always sets itself to a width required to display all fields and it goes beyond the resolution of the screen. I would like to contain it to 1024 pixels.
I have a gridview that loads with a new datasource on button click event. On the gridview (which is located in a table columm incidentally) are 2 columns, a descriptor and a checkbox. The problem is that after postback, the column widths change, the checkbox column expands and the other column contracts. Is there a way to keep the gridview column sizes the same after postback?
been trying long time now to style the width of columns of a checkbox list, trying to group text by similar lengths, something like this:
small width [] wider width here [] widest width of all here [] small wid [] wider width h [] widest width of all h [] small widt [] wider width her [] widest width of all her [] (of course the checkboxes line up in the actual form)
so smaller length texts are not too far away from their checkbox, the checkboxlist control seems to have an iron grip on those col widths
If I have to show big text in gridview's particular column, then how can i control its height and width (especially) in ASP.NET C#so that i do not affect other columns height and width.
I am trying to add dynamically gridview (headerstylewidth, back-color, height, etc…, itemstyle width, back-color, height, etc…), in codebehind but I am receiving this error:
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index
