GridView Column Header Wrap Text

[Sree]

Hello Telerik Team,
i am developing a solution in which user adds his defined columns to the gridview and the number of columns not limited to some number, there may be 'n' number of columns, my question is when user gives a very long text for the header , i want to wrap the text to some confined width in the header
i wonder there is no vertical stretch to header ,i tried bestFit, autosize everything but unable to find the answer


i want to wrap the header text something like below, is this possible ?????


can you please help me out

Hello Lakshmi,

Thank you for writing.

You can achieve the desired behavior through subscribing to the ViewCellFromating event of the RadGridView and setting the TextWrap property to true. For example:

    this.radGridView1.ViewCellFormatting += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventHandler(radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting);
  


 

void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.CellElement is GridHeaderCellElement)

    {

        e.CellElement.TextWrap = true;

    }

}

This topic is also discussed in the following forum thread: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/gridview/how-to-wrap-text-only-in-header-cell.aspx

I hope this helps. If you have further questions, feel free to write back.

Hello Rizal,

Thank you for writing.
 
The code snippet is still applicable for the latest version. Here is the snippet in VB:

Private Sub RadGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(sender As Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs) _
    Handles RadGridView1.ViewCellFormatting
    If TypeOf e.CellElement Is GridHeaderCellElement Then
        e.CellElement.TextWrap = True
    End If
End Sub

Feel free to use our online converter from C# to VB.NET and vice versa: http://converter.telerik.com/

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
