Forms Data Controls :: Make GridView Column Fixed In Width?
Jan 31, 2011
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 ?
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 set up the itemstyle with and wrap to false, but anyways the width columns grows the the data is too long. i just want to change the height of the column not the width. Here us the complete code of the datagridview

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 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 am able to put gridview inside asp:panel and scrolling works too. But the moment I down, the header of gridView scrolls above inside the panel and gets hidden.
I just want to scroll rows, not the header. How can I do that?. Following is what I am using.
On a side note, I have tried to wrap gridView in DIV but div doesn't show the scroll bars in the first load for some reason.
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 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.

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.
