    Is there a way to wrap the Header text in the MVC grid?

     I have tried putting a "\n" (new line) and a CHR(13) (carriage return) in the Title attribute and they don't work. Am i missing something or is it just not possible?

     

    TIA

    Hi Bob,

    If you want to wrap all the headers for all the grid you can try something like this 

    .k-grid-header .k-header {
        overflow: visible !important;
        white-space: normal !important;
    }

    If you want to wrap for just one column, you can try this 

    columns.Bound(p => p.LongHeaderName).Title("LongHeaderName").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "overflow: visible; white-space: normal" });

     

    Thanks,

    Veena

    Hi can you tell me where to paste this code, in a MVC grid layout I'd assumed it would be placed somewhere in the view but can't get it to work.  Thanks.

    Hi Shawn,

    As the last post in this thread is from 2015, the provided solution may not be applicable for the 2020 version of UI for ASP.NET MVC. 

    If I have to answer your question directly, this code:

    .k-grid-header .k-header {
    overflow: visible !important;
    white-space: normal !important;
}

    Should be put in style tags on the page. 

    As mentioned above I assume that the above code won't resolve the issue you have but I am not sure what is the exact functionality you want to achieve.

    If you give me more details about the targeted functionality I will give feedback/solution that is applicable for the latest version of the UI for ASP.NET MVC suite.
