Multi-Line Header Texts

[bla]

Can the behaviour of column header cell be changed to the following one?

When there is no space to display the whole header text, the text shall be wrapped so that it spreads over 2 (or more) lines.

 

(Initially now the text is cut off and 3 dots are added at the end.)

Hello,

In order to customize header cells in RadVirtualGrid, you should use the CellFormatting event. The CellFormatting event is used to add formatting to grid systems cells: header cells, filter cells, and new row cells. Depending on the RowIndex, you can distinguish the system cells. Additional information about formatting cells is available here:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/virtualgrid/cells/formatting-system-cells
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/virtualgrid/cells/formatting-data-cells

If you want to wrap the text you can use the TextWrap property as shown below:

 private void RadVirtualGrid1_CellFormatting(object sender, VirtualGridCellElementEventArgs e)
 {
     if (e.CellElement is VirtualGridHeaderCellElement )
     {
         e.CellElement.TextWrap = true;
     }
     else
     {
         e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.TextWrapProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
     }
 }

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance please let me know.

Nadya
