If I have autogenerated columns how do I achieve this? Thanks.

Hi Joshua,

You may define an implicit style targeting TextBlock as follows:

<Window.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
        <Setter Property="TextWrapping" Value="Wrap"/>
    </Style>
</Window.Resources>

Thus the TextWrapping setting will be applied to all your columns without the need of explicitly setting it.

Maya -

How would you accomplish this is code-behind?

here is what I tried:

Dim col As GridViewBoundColumnBase
col = New GridViewDataColumn()
With col
    .Name = "AFEYear"
    .DataMemberBinding = New Binding("AFEYear")
    .TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Left
    .Width = 50
    .IsReadOnly = True
    .Header.textblock.text = "AFE Year"    'Error here
    .Header.textblock.textwrapping = "Wrap"   'Error here
End With
.Columns.Add(col)

"Textblock"  is not a member of Header.

 

Do you have an example of the right way to manipulate the column header textblock in code?

Hello Jesse,

Please note, that for achieving this you need to instantiate the TextBlock by yourself, as in the code snippet below:

Dim column As New GridViewDataColumn() With { _
    Key .DataMemberBinding = New Binding("Name"), _
    Key .Width = 80 _
}
Dim tb As New TextBlock()
tb.Text = "LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG"
tb.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap

column.Header = tb

Me.clubsGrid.Columns.Add(column)

I hope this makes sense.
