Word Wrap Column Header for AutoGeneratedColumns

[Joseph]

How can I achieve the following attached Image in GridView? In the example (https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radgridview/columns/column-headers), the data columns are known but in my case, I don't know the column headers to do such example. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Hello Joseph,

Thank you for the provided image.

Though I am not completely sure what your setup is, you should be able to achieve your goal by setting the Header property of a given column programmatically when the needed data is known. Would such an approach be possible for you or I am missing something?

Hello Stefan,

Thank you for that suggestion. However, as I've stated, the challenge for me is that the column headers are not known. 

 

In the xaml, here is what I got.

<telerik:RadGridView  x:Name="myDataGrid" ShowGroupPanel="False" IsFilteringAllowed="False" RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed" SelectionUnit="Cell" ColumnWidth="120" />

 

Then in the xaml.cs, here is what I got

DataTable dt = new DataTable();

foreach (var item in ColumnNames)
{
  dt.Columns.Add(item, typeof(string));
}

myDataGrid.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
myDataGrid.ItemsSource = dt.DefaultView;

Hello Joseph,

Since you are using auto generated columns, you can hook up to the AutoGeneratingColumn event of the control. Through the event arguments you can access each column and manipulate its Header property as per your requirements.

Can you please check this out?

Additionally, you can take a look at the Defining Columns help article.

Stefan,

That did it. As a reference for others, here is what I did.

private void myDataGrid_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, GridViewAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
{
       column.HeaderTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
       column.HeaderTextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;
       column.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;
       column.Width = 150;

}

 

Thank you,

JA
