Prevent wrapp

[David]

I am trying to prevent wrapping of too long columns to the second line.
I was able to do it by cutting size of the

Protected Sub AllGrids_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridItemEventArgs)

        Dim intMaxLength As Integer = 60

        Dim grd As RadGrid = CType(sender, RadGrid)

        If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem) Then

            Dim gridItem As GridDataItem = CType(e.Item, GridDataItem)

            gridItem("Description").ToolTip = gridItem("Description").Text

            If gridItem("Description").Text.Length > intMaxLength Then
                gridItem("Description").Text = gridItem("Description").Text.Substring(0, intMaxLength) + "..."
            End If

        End If

    End Sub

In addition i have to do some manipulation on export to export full size field.

There are gotta be a better way though, right?

Hi Eyup,

  I don't need to resize column. I want data to fit inside column similar to pic attached. Ideally i want toolltip to show full data, and when i export i need full field to be exported
