[Solved] Prevent Wrapping of Grid Column?

[Mike]

My question is how do you prevent wrapping of items in the grid. When the grid has lots of columns it causes the icons to wrap.
See http://www.creditbootcamp.com/grid_tools.png

We tried:   
<rad:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Tools" HeaderText="Tools" ItemStyle-Width="150">
But it did not work. Putting the icons in a table did work but caused borders to show up around the table (which we dont want).

We want the icons to stay on the same line and not to page break.


Thanks guys!!

Hello Brett,

Set the width of the column using the HeaderStyle-Width property and also set the TableLayout property of the MasterTableView to fixed as shown below and see if it helps:
aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server">
     <MasterTableView DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" TableLayout="Fixed">
           <Columns>
                 .....
                <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Tools" UniqueName="Tools" HeaderStyle-Width="150px">
                       <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:Image ID="Image1" ImageUrl="~/Images/Image1.gif" runat="server" />
                            <asp:Image ID="Image2" ImageUrl="~/Images/Image2.gif" runat="server" />
                            <asp:Image ID="Image3" ImageUrl="~/Images/Image3.gif" runat="server" />
                       </ItemTemplate>
                 </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

               .........

Thanks
Princy.

Thank you for the response. The page layout is liquid so the table needs to span 100%. Does setting the TableLayout property effect that?

Hi Brett,

No TableLayout="Fixed" affects the column widths and does not prevent the MasterTableView from expanding to 100%, unless you specify explicit pixel column widths for all columns. In this case the MasterTableView will not expand in IE7.
