Resizing row

[acola]

Hello -

I have one of my gridview columns set to wrap text. What I would like to see happen is that when the text wraps in a row, the row resizes itself to show all the text. However, it isn't doing that, so my text in the column that wrapped is all scrunched up. Is there a way to tell the grid to either resize the rows where the text in a column has wrapped, or at least, set each row to be 2 rows high?

Hi,

I also agree this would be a good idea. Column text wrapping is much more useful if you can see all the text in the cell. Maybe something like AutoRowHeight feature would be useful.

acomes:
You can set double the Row height by listening to the RowFormatting event of the RadGridView.

this.radGridView1.RowFormatting += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.RowFormattingEventHandler(this.radGridView1_RowFormatting);

private void radGridView1_RowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
{
   e.RowElement.RowInfo.Height *= 2;
}

 
But is there a way to auto-size the row height?

Cheers

Hi guys,

Phi, thank you for the workaround, indeed it will get things done. Anne, we will suggest using the work around that Phi has posted.

But the idea of auto resizing columns is definitely good and I have logged it for the next release. Thank you very much for the feature request.

I have added Telerik points to your accounts for the suggestion.

 
All the best,

Jack,

Could you confirm whether or not the auto row resize feature will be included in the next release?  We would like to use this as well.  If that can't be done, another useful feature would be to show the text that is cut off in a little tooltip after you hover the cell that contains too much text to be viewed at one time.

Thanks,
Brandon

Hi Brandon,

Thank you for this question.

Yes, I confirm that the row auto-sizing feature will be introduced in our upcoming release Q1 2008. We will also consider implementing automatic tooltips as you suggested.

Let me know, if you have other questions.

Sincerely yours,

How does one accomplish the automatic row sizing with multiline and auto-wrapped text in the Q1 2008 release?  I do not see anything obvious on either the RadGridView or GridViewTextBoxColumn.

Thanks.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for writing.

You should set the AutoSizeRows property of RadGridView to true in order to turn on the automatic row sizing. To enable column wrapping, set the WrapText property of GridViewColumn to true.

Consider the following code sample:

this.radGridView1.AutoSizeRows = true;
this.radGridView1.Columns["Description"].WrapText = true;

I hope this helps. Please let us know whether that lets you achive the desired functionality. Do not hesitate to write me, if you have other questions.

Hi, 
I have changed rows height but after changing height, the height of the editor which is inside cell is not changed as shown in the attached file. is there any way to fit the editor in the cell after changing the row height?

cheers

Hello Niloofar,

Thank you for writing.

It is necessary to set the RadTextBoxEditor.Multiline property to true in order to stretch the editor and fill the entire row's height:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radGridView1.AutoSizeRows = true;
    this.radGridView1.Columns["Description"].WrapText = true;
    this.radGridView1.CellEditorInitialized += radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized;
}

private void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    RadTextBoxEditor tbEditor = e.ActiveEditor as  RadTextBoxEditor;
    if (tbEditor != null)
    {
        tbEditor.Multiline = true;
    }
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
