DataGrid column widths enlarging 1

[RSfromCO]

I have read some other threads in this forum, and it sounds like what I am experiencing may just be the way the DataGrid works. I just have to ask...

If I have ItemStyle-Wrap="False" and Width="100", the width of my column seems to stay fixed at 100 pixels as long as the data in that column is less than 100 pixels wide. If one of the rows of the data has an item that does not fit in that 100 pixels it stretches the column of the grid so that it fits around the data.

And there is nothing I can do about this ???

ItemStyle-Wrap="True"

That is the only way that you can have the contents of the cell wrap if it is longer than 100 pixels.

Hi Scsii,
I used the command u mentioned to reset the width of a column and Iam getting this error -
'width' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridColumn'

Can you please help me..?

Thanks

rav: where are you putting the width statement?

 

[ravula2000]

Iam specifying the columns at design time..

This is the code behing code..
fgrdRecovExtSumm.datasource = ldds
fgrdRecovExtSumm.databind()

After this databind statement Iam putting the width statement.
Do u want me to put in OnItemdatabound event..?
I cant generate the columns at runtime as I already defined so many columns at design time..
Please suggest me...


Thanks
Srinivas

rav: I'd put it right in the grid:

<asp:BoundColumn DataField=&quot;Group_Name&quot; HeaderText=&quot;Group
Name&quot; ItemStyle-width=&quot;20&quot; ItemStyle-Wrap=&quot;True&quot;/>

I would sc's procedure if all the columns need to be a certain width, otherwise AtomicChip is correct in that setting the &quot;wrap&quot; to true does the job.
