View 1 Replies.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 trying to set the top gridview's column's width to the body's column width and then the left columns height to the body's coloumns height. Here is my code:
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Table ID="Table1" runat="server">
<asp:TableRow>
[Code]....

View 1 Replieshow 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.
View 4 RepliesI 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?
View 4 RepliesIt'll be hard to explain, but here goes...I have a 3-col table that measures 1200px wide... the middle column measures 800px and includes all the contents, and both remaining rows measure 200px each and have "nice-to-display-but-optional" images (each has a 200px image).On a 1400px display, my table will display with no problems. On the other hand, if the screen is 1000px, then it'll display the scrollbars so it can fit the 1200px of contents.
How can I set the table (or any other html container) so that a 1000px screen only displays what fits on the screen without displaying the scrollbar?In this case, a 1000px would display the middle 800px column, and whatever fits on the sides (half of the 200px images). But the scrollbars would not be displayed, and the images would not be altered so that they fit in the remaining space.
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.

View 1 RepliesI 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?
View 4 Repliesbeen 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
How to resize the width of columns of grid view? I want a column 250px wide.How I can do this?
View 4 RepliesI have a GridView that has several dynamic columns (I do not know how many at design time and it could be 0-12 columns, hence need for dynamic columns). I have the columns in the grid and data bound to them - works great. There are other standard, design-time TemplateField columns with TextBox controls in them. These are bound with values that the user can edit. The grid is posted back via a Submit button. My question is "Why does gv.Columns.Insert() cause all my TextBox data to be null on Postback, but gv.Columns.Add() works like a champ?"
protected void BuildColumns()
{
// The first column to begin to insert the columns in the GridView
int columnIndex = 5;
BoundField aoColumn = new BoundField();
aoColumn.HeaderText = "New Column 1";
gvMyGrid.Columns.Insert(columnIndex, aoColumn); // kills txtQuantity.Text on postback
gvMyGrid.Columns.Add(aoColumn); // works fine
columnIndex++;
foreach (MyEntity my in _myEntityCollection)
{
BoundField myColumn = new BoundField();
myColumn.HeaderText = String.Format("{0:d}", my.StartDate);
gvMyGrid.Columns.Insert(columnIndex, myColumn);
columnIndex++;
}
}
I then go on to assign values to these BoundFields in the _RowDataBound method and all of this works great. However, when I post back and try to reference some TextBox and they are all null. And yes, I have the BuildColumns() call wrapped in if (!IsPostBack) on Page_Load. Of course I would like to use .Insert() so that the columns can go in the proper location and not at the end of the Columns array.
in asp.net page user able to select gridview Columns, and it will hide remaining columns and that selection done by check box with column list bellow is Image link , what exactly I am looking for [URL] it look bellow after selection of column done [URL]
View 1 RepliesGridView1.Columns.Count is always zero even SqlDataSource1.DataBind();
But Grid is ok I can do
for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.HeaderRow.Cells.Count;i++)
I rename request headers here but
GridView1.Columns[i].Visible = false;
I can't use it because of GridView1.Columns.Count is 0. So how can I hide them ?
I have a datasource, which includes many columns, idealy, I need use a gridview to show:
1) first 3 columns: template fields, these fields depends on values in some columns of datasource. I use template fields, hard coded. works fine.
2) the other columns. This is I do not know how to do it. In the data source, there are about 10-20 columns data, each time, the # of columns of the data varies. idealy, I need show each of them as a seperated column in gridview. The entire data source may have 30 columns, but some of them are used in 1), and I only want show these 10-20 columns in gridview. Some columns in data source, I may not use them at all. is there a way to do this? or have to seperate them as a detail view style UI?
I apologize for the odd title. I've been trying to figure out how to do this and can't quite put it into words. Basically, I need to try to display a GridView with a whole bunch of columns (37 in one case) in two "rows" of columns. More or less.
So instead of this:
Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4 Column5 Column6
Data Data Data Data Data Data
Data Data Data Data Data Data
Data Data Data Data Data Data
I'd like something like this:
Column1 Column2 Column3
Data Data Data
Data Data Data
Data Data Data
Column4 Column5 Column6
Data Data Data
Data Data Data
Data Data Data
As in the example there can be multiple rows returned which all need to be displayed. I'm trying to stop a very large horizontal scroll bar being required. I've been searching as much as I can but haven't found anything that fits what I'm looking for.
I have a pdf file, how can I extract the contents of the pdf file and show the contents in one of my web page
View 4 RepliesMY Drop Down width is Different in IE and Mozilla
How to make constant width in both browsers.
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?
View 2 RepliesI'm sure this question has been asked before but I have been unable to find an answer so far. I want to create a control consisting of a label, an editor control and make the editor control resizable using the ResizeControlExtender:
[Code]....
I have is to extend the control vertically, effectively making it longer, but I don't want the user to make it any wider than it parent control - effectively disabling the option to make it wider. Hopefully that makes sense - for an example, look no further than the control used to input text when creating a post.
I'm binding a gridview from a webservice with 30 columns and 10 rows, I need to print the same in a PORTRAIT, for that i decided to display columns as rows and
rows as columns like below:
EMP1 1 2 3 4
EMP2 1 2 3 4
I have a GridView, in which the width of each column is dynamic and changes depending on the dataset. I need to get the width of each column for use in my PDF exporter, but the column/cells width is always '0', presumably because I haven't set the width property.
Is there a way around this?
