How to set the size of a GridMaskedBox Column

[Ashok Sridhar]

Hi,

     I need to limit the display size of a GridMaskedBox Column.  I actually need to limit the size of the textbox during editing.  The ItemStyle-Width is not working.  For that matter, I'm unable to set the display size for any of the Bound Columns.

Thanks

Hello Ashok,

You can try out the following code to set the width of the TextBox for a bound column and RadMaskedTextBox for a maskedcolumn to required width:
cs:

  protected void RadGrid2_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
       if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            RadMaskedTextBox radmaskdtxtbx = (RadMaskedTextBox)editItem["MaskedColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
            radmaskdtxtbx.Width = Unit.Pixel(50);
            TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)editItem["BoundColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
            txtbx.Width=Unit.Pixel(50);


        }

Thanks
Princy.

Hello Princy,

             That works. Thanks,  But its very unfortunate that there is not declarative way to specify the size of the edit columns in the radgrid.

Thanks,

Hi Ashok,

Actually there is a way by using declarative style editors. Review this topic from the documentation for more details:
