[Solved] "Easy Way" to show max. characters "x" in a column?

[Michael]

Hi!

Is there a way that I can tell the radgrid, that I only want - for example - max. 20 characters to be shown in a column (optimal: replenished by "..."), although the database field is much longer (for example 50 characters). I do not want to use wrapping. Of course, when I get to the detail view of the datarow (EditMode = PopUp in conjunction with usercontrol), the whole content of the column should be displayed and editable.

Thanks

Michael

Hi Michael,

In order to achieve the desired behavior, you have to modify the data cells' Text in ItemDataBound.
