HeaderRowStyle for telerik gridview

[Mahesh Bhat]

Anyone could help me to apply style for HeaderRowStyle for GridViewHeaderRow with Header Text wrapping.

Hello Mahesh Bhat,

What you can do is use the Header property of the column, define a text block in it and set it to wrap. The XAML for this should look something similar to:

<gridView:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}">
            <gridView:RadGridView.Columns>
                <gridView:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Property1}">
                    <gridView:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                        <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Wrapped column header text" />
                    </gridView:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                </gridView:GridViewDataColumn>
            </gridView:RadGridView.Columns>
        </gridView:RadGridView>

Let me know how this goes.

I have the same basic problem.  But I can not specify the columns in xaml.  The list of columns are defined in a service and the app loads the columns at runtime.

So what is preferred way of text wrapping a column header in code?  It is ok to specify a style that would active on all column headers.

Thanks
Kevin

I found my answer in http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/gridview/wrap-header-text.aspx

I used a AlignmentContentPresenter.

Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.AlignmentContentPresenter alg = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.AlignmentContentPresenter();
                            alg.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;
                            alg.Content = so.Description;

                            GridViewDataColumns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn()
                            {
                                Header = alg,
                                IsReadOnly = false,
                                MaxWidth=100,
                                DataMemberBinding = yada yada yada
                            });
