HOw to wrap the text without space in a Rad Grid column

[Sudha]

Hi,

Am using a RadGrid in my application. When I enter data  without any space in between(ex: HI_How_Are_You_?) in one of the columns, the data does not wrap. Kindly help me in fixing this issue as early as possible.

Thanks,
Sudha.

Hello Sudha,

Try the following code snippet to wrap the text without space.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
 {
   if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
     {
       GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
       if (item["ColumnUniqueName"].Text.Length > 4)
         {
            item["ColumnUniqueName"].ToolTip = item["City"].Text.ToString();
            item["ColumnUniqueName"].Text = (item["ColumnUniqueName"].Text).Substring(0, 5) + "...";
          }
      }
 }

Thanks,
Princy.

Hello Sudha,

Texts can be wrapped in the grid columns when the string values are separated with space(s) - you can verify that with the standard MS GridView control as well. Therefore, you should consider either entering spaces (if possible) or enable column resizing and clip the cell content on resize as illustrated in this live demo.
