Hello,

Thank you in advance.

Hi Roberto,

Yes, you can do this by getting to the RadGridView via the EditorControl, and then setting AutoSizeRows to true and the column to WrapText

For exmaple

class Person

public class Person
{
    public Person(string name, int id, string desc)
    { this.Name = name; this.Id = id; this.Desc = desc; }
    public string Name
    { get; set; }
    public int Id
    { get; set; }
    public string Desc
    { get; set; }
}

In Form Load for exmaple

List<Person> people = new List<Person>();
for (int i = 0; i <= 101; i++)
{
    people.Add(new Person("Name " + i, i, "Some quite long description that goes in here"));
}
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.DataSource = people;
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.DisplayMember = "Name";
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.ValueMember = "Id";
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.DropDownSizingMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.SizingMode.UpDownAndRightBottom;
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.DropDownMinSize = new Size(300, 0);
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.EditorControl.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.EditorControl.AutoSizeRows = true;
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.EditorControl.Columns["Desc"].WrapText = true;

hope that helps, but let me know if you need more information
