[Solved] width of columns when using inplace editing

[newbie]

I have specified the width os some columns in my grid using the ItemStyle-Width property.
But when i click the edit button the columns expand and do not take the size I have specified.
I have 3 numeric columns and I want their size to be very small even in edit mode so that my text columns can have more space.

<

telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="GateLength" HeaderText="Gate Length" SortExpression="GateLength"

UniqueName="GateLength" ItemStyle-Width="50px" >

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

Hello,

The size expansion is due to the textboxes rendered in the inline edit mode.
You can, however, dynamically alter the width, as shown in the code snippet below:

.cs

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            TextBox textBox = (TextBox)dataItem["CompanyName"].Controls[0];
            textBox.Width = Unit.Pixel(40);
        }
    }

I hope this information helps.

Hi Newbie,

You can also set the Width of the TextBox in Percentage as shown below.

if (e.Item is GridDataItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            TextBox textBox = (TextBox)dataItem["CompanyName"].Controls[0];
            textBox.Width = Unit.Percentage(50);
        }

Shinu.
