i have used e.Row.Cells[i].CellDisplayStyle = CellDisplayStyle.FullEditorDisplay into  ultraGrid_InitializeRow event. Then how i can use two different font sizes for the text of the same cell?

pls let me know if any options avail.

Thanks,

Mosam

Hi Mosam, 

CellDisplayStyle.FullEditorDisplay is the default. So unless you are setting CellDisplayStyle explicitly to some other value somewhere else in your code, you don't need to set it on each each. 

In any case, if you want two different text sizes or styles in the same cell, you can do that with FormattedText and the answer to your question is already right here in this thread...

You could set the Style of the column to FormattedText. And then use XML as the Value of the cell to control the formatting. The custom XML format used by a FormattedText cell in the grid is the same one used by the UltraFormattedLinkLabel or UltraFormattedTextEditor controls.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for looking into it. Can you pls provide example as you mentioned for using the SetBoundsCore and GetPreferredSize. Also, if you can update sample poc - it would save several back and fro as resolving one issue actually starts seeing another issue within sample poc which we have seen so far.

As per my last reply- i have mentioned one another issue as well that is  on click on cell, label2 starts displaying overlapping with label1 texts and label1 text displays not fully on top of label2 - can you pls provide your input for this ?

I have asked you query for alternative xml approach using UltraFormattedTextEditor for which I have attached sample in my previous replies. Into that approach - can we show image on top right corner of the cell instead immediately after first text of the cell? Also, if too long text come up then can we resize cell of ultragrid to show full texts within instead currently it displays scroll bars on cell if long text values come. Can you pls provide your suggestion on this ?

Thanks,

Hi Mosam, 

So I guess I was mixed up about which text you were putting into each label. But at this point, this is really going way beyond what I can do for you in terms of support. You need to figure out what you want this control to look like in the cell and arrange the controls sing the SetBoundsCore and GetPreferredSize. I can only provide you with an example, I can't write a working control for you. 

What you are seeing here, I think, is that you have the UltraLabel1 set to AutoSizeHeightOnly and you are setting it to a very long string, so it's increasing it's own height and covering up UltraLabel2. The solution to that problem is to change the code in SetBoundsCore which is arranging the controls inside the UserControl and place them in such a way that that doesn't happen. When I wrote that code, I was assuming that UltraLabel1 was always going to be one line, but that is apparently not the case. So you can force UltraLabel1 to refresh it's PreferredSize by setting AutoSize to false and back to true, get the PreferredSize and the position UltraLabel2 such that it is underneath UltraLabel1. 

And then you will probably need to do the same thing to get the correct PreferredSize of UltraLabel1 inside of GetPreferredSize, because my sample code currently is not doing that because, as I said, I was assuming UltraLabel1 is always a single line. 

Hi Mike,

After applying above GetPreferredSize, It starts displaying label1 text but yet not displaying label2 texts in cell. see in below screenshot. 

we require to display label1 full texts and then label2 full text in new line.

Also, when i click on column3 highlighted cell then it displays as below. Here, label2 starts displaying overlapping with label1 texts and label1 text displays not fully on top of label2.

Can you pls give your input and update sample application for above issues.

Thanks,

Mosam

Nope. I am wrong. The first line is wrapping in the middle of a word, so that can't be right. 
So I think the issue is that PreferredSize on the UltraLabel2 is stale, so we just need to give the label a kick. 

It seems to work better if I force it to resize before getting the PreferredSize...

public override System.Drawing.Size GetPreferredSize(System.Drawing.Size proposedSize)
{
var idealHeight = this.ultraLabel1.Top + this.ultraLabel1.Height;
idealHeight += 8; // padding
this.ultraLabel2.AutoSize = false;
this.ultraLabel2.AutoSize = true;
idealHeight += this.ultraLabel2.PreferredSize.Height;
idealHeight += 8; // padding
return new Size(200, idealHeight);

}

The height is now too big, but that's likely because I just used 8 for padding and that's not the correct value.
