View 3 RepliesI'm trying to set the width of gridview's column.
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.
i need to set the column width of my gridview.
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; }
I have a gridview and I want to fix the column size to a certain size regardless of the length of the data in a given cell.
I have tried everythign I can think of from
gvwProjects.Columns[1].ItemStyle.Width
gvwProjects.Columns[1].ItemStyle.Wrap
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.
Gridview columns are created programmatically and when displaying the gridview first time it looks great. But click on a number to go to another page in gridview the column size changes and looks terrible, but correct data is displayed.How do I fix the formatting problem?
View 4 RepliesI populate a gridview dynamically which has differen column numbers depend on requirements. My goal is to adjust column width dynamically. I have tried several methods and events, then RowCreated event of GridView looks best one to do. My code is as below. When
i check result at the ViewSource on the browser, i can see that width of <td> successfully adjusted. BUT nothing changes on the browser, column width always as wide as text?

I have this lastname column and address column. The address obviously is longer so it makes the gridview to increase its height which I don't want to happen. What I want is to increase the column width of the address in gridview that will suit the long text inside it. How could I do it in C#? Currently this are my codes:
C#
[Code]....
CSS

How to set the GridView column fixed in width size whether there is data in the column cell or not. I try below code using "ItemStyle-Width" in the BoundField control to fix the column width but column became narrower if there is no data to display in it. Is this a no solution of ASP Gridview control ?
<asp:GridView
ID="GridView1"
runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="false"
Font-Names="Arial"
Font-Bold="true"......
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.
I have a GridView which pulls info from a SQL DB. It works fine. I use a CMS to upload the data which includes thenumber referred to below.
The last (rightmost) column in the GridView is a number.
I'd like to know how to know how to:
1) Make a further column visible (to the right of the number) which contains a Button BUT only when the user is logged in.
2) Make that Button call a function (the workings of the function are irrelevant here) and pass to that function the number in the previous column.
I know I could use a LoginView with two GridViews, one for logged in (showing the Button) and one for anonymous (without the Button), but then I'd have to put the Button in the database... I think.
A better idea would be to add the Button column programmatically.
how this can be done and how the Button in each row, when clicked, can pass whatever number is to its left as a parameter?
I need to change padding for one column in ASP.NET GridView, while all other CSS atributes defined in external CSS file should be left untouched. How can I do it? Update: Below is my code that solved the problem:
protected void gvwMaster_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
e.Row.Cells[0].Attributes.Add("style", "padding:0");
}
I've programatically created a DataView item by adding columns and rows to a table in the class file. Then I add that to my webform using a GridView. I'd like to hide some of the columns so that the end user doesn't see them but still be able to access their values.
How do I do this programatically? The table.Columns.Count returns the actually number of columns. Somehow when it converts into a DataView, it is only returning 1 column.
//From class file
[Code]....
//From webform
[Code]....
In this example, I want to hide the ID column.
I have a Gridview and I want to format 2nd column of it to {0:dd-MMM-yy}
If it is not autogeneratedcolumn Gridview I would have used DataFormatString="{0:dd-MMM-yy}"
However, this time it is a autogeneratedcolumn Gridview so I cannot use the above code anymore.
So can I set that column format programmatically ?
I tried
GridView1.Columns(1).
But then there is nothing close to dataformat pops up from intellisense.
I was hoping this is simple but i have problems.
Basically i was only able to set the string color with itemstyle-Forecolor.
But how do i set the background of a column and also set height,width.Ok height may not work because i have an itemtemplate with predefined height.
Can this be done in a simple boundfield or must i have all my datafields in itemtemplates?
What i do for one column:
[Code]....
I have a gridview which is binded to a Sqldatasource. I would like to replace a column data field value to 'Not Applicable' if that column has got a value of 2 in database.
