Forms Data Controls :: Control Width Of The Gridview Control?
Sep 9, 2010
The width of the gridview control got increased in the browser, Because of that I got Horizontal Scroll. I don't want to get Horizontal scroll in the browser.
I have the FieldHeaderStyle-Width set to 100px for a details view and it works fine unless the fields have no data. Then the width is adjusted automatically. How can I control the width of the field header when there is no data in any of the fields?
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 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.
I am new to this forum as well as Visual Studio and asp.
I am connecting to an access db using Visual Studio Express 2010.
I have a dropdownlistbox that pulls names from a database. When I select a name Gridview1 gets populated. Now I want to populate Gridview2 with more data when I click 'Select' link in Gridview1 but it's not working.
I am passing name (string) and number (number) fields to the gridview2 based on the gridview1.selectedvalue property and am seeing:
I would like to use the gridview paging feature and have built a gridview with a user control. The data source has lots of columns, so to make it easier I want to return a LIST<MyObject> and just pass <Myobject> into the user control rather than all the data elements. Not sure how I access the object of the data source to bind to the control. Assume it would be during ondatarowbound.
Also, my guess is there is a better way to do this than gridview. I'd take either solution that allows me to have easy paging and pass the complete object into the user control
I have managed to place a dropdown control iniside a gridview control. The dropdown does indeed populate in each row... Question: How is it possible for the system to correctly select the text in the dropdown based on the value of the field which is driven from the database? Is it to do with the selectedvalue?

In my scenerio, i've a dropdownlistbox by which i want to filter, a textbox for the text to filter and two textbox for specifying from and to date.
A gridview control for displaying the filtered data and a sqldatasource control and a commandbutton called search.
The following code is used to filter the data in database and it works properly. But when i click on edit in gridview, the gridview displays no records and again when i click on search button the data is displayed on the gridview displayed with the selected row in editmode.
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?
i Have a dynamic column gridview control in a page hosted in sharepoint. Grid is binded to an XMl and placed inside a Div control. I have set rowstyle-wrap=false and width=100% and overflow of parent Div to auto
There are only 2 columns in grid that can have long size text data (with and without spaces between words).
Problem
1. When grid has lot of columns (say 20), a scrollbar appears on the IE window(as page content is out of windows size); but the two columns that have long text values in them, gets wrapped.
2. when grid has less columns (say 5), no scrollbar appears in IE windows(as page content fits within window).but the same two long text columns, doesn't get wrapped and render in a single line.
Is there any max width of gridview? I want that grid should take all the space (as per content) and show scrollbar; the content should not get wrapped.
how to make grid content not to wrap and expand to any width.
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.
I have a GridView bound to a SqlDataSource. If the text in a particular column is very long then the Grid view becomes very wide, well off the page. How do I constrain it, if necessary truncating the text displayed? I cannot find the relevant setting in the properties section.
