Datagrid column widths in edit mode

Hi. When setting a certain the EditItemIndex of a certain row of a datagrid,
the columns in the row increases its width thus increasing the width of the
entire datagrid. Where do you control this? I've played around with my CSS
file and the actual properties settings but still get the same results.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Elmer,

You can set this property in the <EditItemStyle Width="" /> tag inside the
DataGrid tag.

Hi, Elmer.

I had a similar issue in needing to set the width of the columns.
There may be more elegant ways to do this, but here's what I did.

In the Page_Load event I set the width of my grid like this:
dgCRM.Width = New Unit(760)

And then in the Item_Created Event of the datagrid, I had this command
to set the width for a particular column:

e.Item.Cells(0).Width = New Unit(130, UnitType.Pixel)
Hope this helps.

Thanks SG! It also helped to make the column a template column.
