Set the Wingrid row height to accomodate the size of the row content
posted

Hi,

I would like to setup the rows of my grid to match the size of the content.
Could you advise about the proper way to do it?

I tried in the InitializeLayout event to do:
e.Layout.Override.CellMultiLine = DefaultableBoolean.True
e.Layout.Override.Override.RowSizing = RowSizing.AutoFixed

I'm replacing a text editor that did contain history (a date and what occured at this date) by a grid containing a row per history item (date column + content column).
I would like to see all the content of the cells in edit/view mode without scrolling inside the cell (but of course, user will need to scroll inside the grid). 
I would need little height for empty rows.

Regards,

Gilles

    Hi Gilles,

    There's no easy way to do this. You could try to work it out by getting the Height of a row and mulitplying it by the number of rows. But you will need to acccount for the column headers, horizontal scrollbar, borders, and the potential overlapping of the rows.
