Forms Data Controls :: Set The Columns Width To Fixed Value In Gridview?
Oct 25, 2010
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 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; }
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 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 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?

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.
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?
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.
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.
On my web form I have a Calendar Control. The Calendar Control works fine. The problem is that it changes sizes all of the time based on how many entries are in the date cells. For example: if one month contains information in a cell for each day the Calendar control expands in size taking up more space on the web page. Then if the next month the date cells don't contain any information the Calendar control shrinks in size taking up less space on the web page as the previous month.
I made up a maximum amount of entries that will be entered for each day of the month and then set the height and width to that size but still if there is less data in the date cells the Calendar control continues to shrink.
How can I force the Calendar control to stay at the fixed height and width that I would like to set?
I wanted to have fixed headers in grid view. I came across multiple solutions but none worked with IE 8 and Chrome. One of the best solutions is following:

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.
