Row Height and Font Size

[Nebojsa Mancic]

I am new to GridView control, and I have noticed something strange to me. When I have set Font size of GridView control,  Row height and Header height did not changed and in one row I can see only part of data in Row. I thought that it should change Row height automaticaly to Font size ?

Set the auto size columns mode on fill by this code in the page_load event:
this.GridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
it can set your columns size fit by your data
i wish your problem solved.
you can see the MasterGridViewTemplate property also.

Hello Nebojsa,

Thank you for your question.

You can set the height of the RadGridView rows and header row using the GridElement property:

this.radGridView1.GridElement.TableHeaderHeight = 100;
this.radGridView1.GridElement.RowHeight = 100;

Another approach is to use the AutoSizeRows option. This mode is only appropriate if you use the CellFormatting event to set the font of the RadGridView elements. For example if you wish to change the font of the rows and the header row, you can use:

this.radGridView1.AutoSizeRows = true;

Font f = new Font(new FontFamily("Arial"), 24.0f);
private void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    e.CellElement.Font = f;
}

I hope it helps.

All the best,

Thanks Alexander, second snippet has solved my problem. But I think that you should solve this automaticaly.

Wait do I understand correctly that I can NOT set the font of the RadGridView header cells at design time?

Hello Msulis,

Yes, you understand correctly. RadGridView uses virtualization for its cell elements and visual settings cannot be applied directly to cells at design-time.

The font of the RadGridView header cells is defined in the theme you use. You can modify it using the Visual Style Builder. You can also change the font in runtime using the formatting events.
 
I hope it helps.
