Hi,

I am using RadGrid's inbuilt capabilities for editing records and they are quite OK for my needs, but there is one thing that is bugging me. Most of my columns are of type GridBoundColumn and are therefore rendered as textboxes when in edit mode, but they are too narrow for my purposes. How can I make them wider?

Thank you,
Andrea

Hello Andrea,

You can access the textrbox from code behind and set the Width as per requirement. The code snippet shows an example of how can you achieve the same.

C#:

 
protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)   
{   
    if(e.Item is GridDataItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)   
    {  
        GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;  
        TextBox textBox = (TextBox) editItem["ContactName"].Controls[0]; // Access the control in EditMode  
        textBox.Width = Unit.Pixel(100); // Set the Width for the textbox  
    }   
}  

-Shinu.
