Grid contents not wrapping

[Anand S]

Hi,

We are using telerik grid where we display data entered by our users. We  have set fixed column widths and enabled  wrap.

What  happens is if there is a word w/o space it does not wrap,  rather it gets cut while being displayed.

What  is the solution  for this - e.g. any grid tools wraps data automatically 

Thanks 

Anand

Hello Anand-

Sorry to hear about your trouble with the long word wrapping. I know that is frustrating!

Unfortunately, this is a "native" behavior of HTML. Long words that do not have any spaces or "break characters" cannot be wrapped. The solutions are either:

A) Before binding your data, "clean" it with code that inserts spaces at specific intervals so it can be property wrapped

B) Let the text "overflow" in to a hidden area (the approach RadGrid provides automatically)

Hope that helps!

I got around this problem by using CSS style "word-break:break-all;"

@(Html.Telerik().Grid<
...
columns.Bound(c => c.Name).HtmlAttributes(new { @style = "word-break:break-all;" });
...
