How to set edit text box height?

[Frank]

I am setting the width for a RadGrid multiline edit text box programmatically (see below) - this works fine. I'd also like to set the height of the edit text box to the height of the edited line, i.e. the height of the line should not change when editing and the edit box should be high enough to show the entire cell context.

However, this does not work. The height of the edited line actually shrinks when I hit "edit" and the edit box therefore only shows the first line or so. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for looking into this.

	Private Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemDataBound
	If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditableItem) AndAlso (e.Item.IsInEditMode) Then
	Dim editedItem As GridEditableItem = e.Item
	Dim wte As GridTextBoxColumnEditor = TryCast(editedItem.EditManager.GetColumnEditor("BUG_KURZTEXT"), GridTextBoxColumnEditor)
	Dim txtbx As TextBox = wte.TextBoxControl
	With txtbx
	.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine
	.Width = Unit.Percentage(100)
	.Height = Unit.Percentage(100)  '<--- this line has no effect
	End With
	End If
	End Sub

Hello Frank,

In case you are using IE7, this browser ignores 100% heights for textboxes, as demonstrated by this simple example:

<table><tr><td style="height:100px;border:1px solid red">
<input type="text" style="height:100%" />
</td></tr></table>

(the above works for Firefox or IE8)

Please consider using a pixel height for IE7 or all browsers.

Kind regards,
