Wrapping column headers & horizontal scrolling issue

[Elias Puurunen]

I've followed the tutorial posted in the documentation to wrap column header text.

http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/gridview-howto-wrap-text-column-header.html

However, I'm running into an issue where if I resize the column, then scroll it out of view (horizontally), the header resizes and becomes its original height until that column scrolls back into view.

Is this a known issue, and is there a workaround?

Is there any better way to wrap header text? This should be such a simple operation but has turned into a nightmare.

Hi Elias,

This would be the expected behavior since the visual elements are created when they are in the view port, recycled and reused on scrolling. Thus the header cell which height gets higher on resizing it, will be reused for the cells that come in the visible area afterwards. That is why its height gets lost. 
What you may try is to set MinHeight for GridViewHeaderRow, thus making it not to be shorter than that size:

<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewHeaderRow">
            <Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="40" />
        </Style>
