Wrapping text in a DataGrid Cell

[Randy]

Hello,
How would this be done? I've looked at the datagrid itself and also the
tableStyle and can't find out how to make text wrap in a cell.
Thanks

Hi Randy,

When a cell is not being edited, its conent is painted with the
corresponding DataGridColumnS tyle's Paint method (there are several
overloads). When it is being edited, cell appearence is in hands of a user
control used to edit the cell contents - most likely this will be a TextBox.

So what you need is inheriting from
System.Windows. Forms.DataGridT extBoxColumn and overriding its Paint method
to enable wrapping. You might also need to overload column style methods
responsible for calculating the row height - the grid won't be able to
adjust the row height upon double-click between row headers otherwise. To
make the text wrap during editing, you will need to tweak the hosted
TextBox - probably it should be switched to the MultiLine mode, but I am not
so sure here.

Hi Randy,

The best way to solve any layout problem is to use CSS.

Set the CSS class of the cell to a CSS class that has the following
definition:

..nowrap{
white-space: nowrap;
}
or, you could set the inline style attribute to style="white-space:
nowrap;", but this is not supported in older Netscape browsers.

Look at the cell columns properties and set the class there if at all
possible.
