Free Text column value with Kendo Grid Column

[Hitesh]

Hi 

(1) We need to show free text column value in Grid column, it might contain spaces, carriage return kind of text also  to show in the grid column.

         Any default support for it.

(2) Is there any way that we can fix row hight for the grid giving some fix size.

 

Regards,

Hitesh Taneja

Hello Hitesh,

Straight to your questions: 

    1. There is a restriction only that columns.field should  be a valid Javascript identifier and should contain no spaces, no special characters, and the first character should be a letter.

     2. There is a style applied to the td elements  (using the .k-grid td selector) with line-height: 1.6em; If you use higher specificity you can apply your own line height value in order to override the default one.

Is there a work around to allow carriage returns in the text fields? Thanks.

Hello Luke,

 

There is a workaround that allows users to have special characters in the column.field, but it partially resolved the problem (please refer to the http://dojo.telerik.com/ufenA example). It works only for displaying data, but operations such as filtering, sorting and etc are not working. This is why we do not support having special characters or empty spaces in the column field names.
