change datagrid column size

[jsnunez]

Hi all,

I created a datagrid with autocolumnsize = yes. I am not defining the columns in design mode; but attaching a table frm a datasource. this means that the:
- itemStyle-Wrap="True"
is a default value and the text in some cells appears wrapped in several lines. I would like it to show the text in only one line per cell. By default the size of the whole column is the size of the header or title.

Questions:
How can I change the size of a datagrid column to be the same as the size of the content, not the size of the header.

is there a way in runtime to add something like itemStyle-Wrap="False", on each column?

thanks
Jsn

Jsn - is trimming an option?

Jsn - I came across another article which sets Wrap="false" during the OnItemDataBound event here. Might have an insight into what you are trying to do.

Hi

I foud this code as an example but it does not work because my datagrid columns are not created in desing mode, they are created when the data is bound.

http://weblogs.asp.net/despos/archive/2003/11/28/40186.aspx

When it calls the function AdjustTextForDisplay(string text, int colIndex, DataGrid grid), the variable grid is empty. I do not know if I can replace it by a dataview or a dataset table.

thanks

jsn - have you tried researching into using the ItemDataBound event? Seems like that might be an angle on this problem (inserting the css conditions here). Just a thought; let us know how you're coming along with this.
