Combo Column Height

[Phillip]

Hi,
I have a grid showing an image, which makes the row about 100pix high. The grid has a combo column in it, and several other different types of column. On the standard text box column the grid positions the editor centrally on the row, and on the combo column it expands the combo to be 100pix tall.

1) Can I direct the table to place the editing controls for the column TopLeft instead of CentreLeft ?
2) Can I stop the combo column autosizing to fill the entire grid cell ?

I have tried 

e.CellElement.Alignment =

ContentAlignment.TopLeft;
on the ViewCellFormatting event but it doesn't make any difference.

Hello Phillip,

Thank you for contacting us. Regarding your questions you need to use the EditorRequired event:

1. You can control the editor Margin in the cell. For instance:

private void radGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Editor is RadTextBoxEditor)
    {
                ((RadTextBoxEditor)e.Editor).Margin = new Padding(0, 0, 0, this.radGridView1.CurrentCell.RowInfo.Height/2);
}

2. You can set MaxSize for the given editor. For example:

private void radGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Editor is RadComboBoxEditor)
    {
                ((RadComboBoxEditor)e.Editor).MaxSize = new Size(100, 20);
    }
}

Thus you will prevent the combobox editor to expand to the cell height.

Do not hesitate to write me back if you have further questions.

All the best,

hi

I have a table in which i have used style='table-layout: fixed'. further i specified each column width. i designed the code for add remove columns and thus when a column is removed, other columns are shifted to the width of preceding columns. 

Any suggestions please
