Multiline columns

[Hans-Jürgen]

Hey,

I have a problem displaying texts that have multiple lines in my columns (text bound to a database and linebreaks are cr lf).

In the grid the texts are displayed in a single line.

My intuition would be to use a column template as I haven't found a way to configure columns to show multiple lines. But I don't know how this template would have to look like.

Could you help me with this?

Hi Hans,

The default behavior for the Kendo UI Grid is to set multiple rows of text out of the box. Here is an example:

• https://dojo.telerik.com/aDehubaL

However, I can see what is your point. One of the possibilities is to use a Template. In order to achieve the desired behavior without using templates, I would recommend the approach demonstrated in the following article:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/grid-how-to-set-new-line-based-on-the-data

I hope this information helps.

Hello,

Is there an example with the template?

Hi Dan,

Here is a dojo example of the described approach:

I hope this achieves the desired result.

Hi Anton,

I think you misunderstood me. You mentioned in the post "One of the possibilities is to use a Template". And I am asking if you have an example using a template.

The dojo is the same as the knowledge base.

Hi Dan,

Here is an example of using a template:

• https://dojo.telerik.com/@anton.mironov/UVeWIBIV

Feel free to use it in the Grid as per the needs of your application.

Hi Anton,

Again I did not need that. I know how to make a template. I needed how to make a template for a column where multiple lines are needed.

Anyway I manage to find a better solution with using just html attributes instead of using template or changing the server
