Column wrapping and acceptReturns functions

Question

Hi everyone,

Well I know that with a normal textbox textwrapping and AcceptReturns is used to keep the textbox one width and to display all data on new lines when that line widt is exceeded...

Can anybody please tell me how to do the same with a column in a datagrid... I've got a datagrid and the messages can be any rage of size... Can somebody please help?

Thanks very much in advance!!!

Hi linkit,

Instead DataGridText column, you have to use DataGridTemplateColumn with TextBox in it.

Try the following code.

<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Value" Width="*" IsReadOnly="True">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
    <TextBox Text="{Binding Value}" AcceptsReturn="True" TextWrapping="Wrap" Height="150" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True"></TextBox>
  </DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>

Hi ksvimal,

Thanks for your reply!!! I'm so sorry, I didn't explain it properly... this datagrid uses label templates to make sure it is not editable... so instead of a textbox I used a label template... Do you know of a way that I can still achieve the same goal?

Thanks so very much!!!

Kind Regards

Hi linkit,

If it not editable then you can use TextBlock instead of Label. Here you will get the TextWrapping property, set this property to "Wrap" and try.

Hi ksvimal,

Thanks, but I'm still trying to get it to work... The TextBlock isn't wrapping the text... I'm still searching to find a way to do this....

Thanks
