Control GridDropDownColumn width

[Adam]

Hi,

How can I control the width of the GridDropDownColumn when it is part of a grid who has edit mode set to in-line?

It seems I can control the width of the column when it is in read mode, but when I switch to edit or insert mode, the width expands to some arbitrary amount that I am unable to (yet) define.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

Try the following code snippet to set the width of the GridDropDownColumn in edit mode.

ASPX:

 <telerik:GridDropDownColumn DataField="FirstName" DropDownControlType="DropDownList" HeaderText="Nam" UniqueName="Name">
          </telerik:GridDropDownColumn>

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
        {
            GridEditableItem edititem=(GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)edititem["Name"].Controls[0];
            ddl.Width = Unit.Pixel(300);
        }
   }

Thanks
Princy.

Hi guys,

Additionally, to customize the appearance of the grid editors, consider using declarative style editors.

Thanks,

The code-behind change worked.
