How to display Header Text on two lines

[George]

Hi All,

In order to save space and for information purposes I am trying to display a column header text in two lines if possible like:

==============
Exepnses
($ per day)
=============

Is there a suitable way to do this?

Regards,

George

meanwhile, found the answer. It seems the "/n" does not work in this case and the environment.newline has to be used instead, as gridview1.columns(0).headertext="first line" & environment.newline & "second line"

Cheers all,

George

Hi George,

Thank you for writing. "\n" does not work because in VB.Net it is an escape sequence. You have already find the right way to add the new line. You could use the following code, too:
 

Me.radGridView1.Columns(0).HeaderText = "First Line " & vbLf & "Second Line"
DirectCast(Me.radGridView1.GridElement, GridTableElement).TableHeaderHeight = 40

Do not hesitate to contact me again if you have other questions.

All the best,

Hi Ram,

You should ask all question related to ASP.NET AJAX Controls in the corresponding forum section, which is observed by the ASP.NET AJAX support guys.
