[Solved] Set size of inline editing controls?

[Chris]

Is there any way to set the size of the textboxes/comboboxes/etc used in inline editing? I have a RadGrid inside a RadPane, and when the edit command column is used the grid becomes wider than the pane it's in, necessitating horizontal scrolling.  This is because most of the inputs are about twice as wide as they actually need to be for the data they contain.

Hi Chris,

One suggestion is accessing the controls code behind to set the width when in EditMode.

ASPX:

<Columns>
    <telerik:GridDropDownColumn DataField="CompanyName" HeaderText="Align" UniqueName="Combo" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" ListTextField="CompanyName" ListValueField="CompanyName"
        DropDownControlType="RadComboBox" EnableEmptyListItem="false">
    </telerik:GridDropDownColumn>

    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TempColumn">
        <ItemTemplate>
            Country
        </ItemTemplate>
        <EditItemTemplate>
            <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged">
            </asp:DropDownList>
        </EditItemTemplate>
    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
      . . .
</Columns>

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.Item is GridDataItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        RadComboBox combo = (RadComboBox)item["Combo"].Controls[0]; // Get the RadCombobox
        combo.Width = Unit.Pixel(80);  // Set width
        DropDownList dropdown = (DropDownList)item.FindControl("DropDownList1"); // Get the dropdown
        dropdown.Width = Unit.Pixel(80);  // Set width
    }
}

Another option is by setting the TableLayout property of grid MasterTableView to Fixed in order to show fixed width for radgrid.
