TextbBox size in GridView Edit mode

I have a GridView with a field that contains long strings of text. I would like to make the grid directly editable, rather than using a details view.
I finally figured out how to make the TextBox in the Edit view bigger, but I cannot find option to to make the text in it wrap or for adding scroll bars.
Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, either with control properties or through manual coding
Thanks in advance for your advice.

TextbBox size in GridView Edit mode

  • King Gamo

    I struggled with trying to prevent text from wrapping in my GridView and have come to the conclusion that NONE of the property controls seem to be able to provide "Wrap=False".

    I solved the presentation issue by setting the column to a template field and the replacing the Label control in the Item Template with a TextBox control. The text box has a Wrap property which obeys "False". I then set the text box background to transparent and its borders to 0px. It sits very happily in my GridView and truncates the text, as desired.

    I have same problem. I want to change multiline property of one column in Edit mode. Code is here :

    <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" Runat="server" DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1" DataKeyNames="ID" AutoGenerateColumns="False"

    AllowSorting="True" AllowPaging="True">

    <Columns>

    <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" ShowDeleteButton="True" ShowInsertButton="True"></asp:CommandField>

    <asp:BoundField ReadOnly="True" HeaderText="ID" InsertVisible="False" DataField="ID"

    SortExpression="ID"></asp:BoundField>

    <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Ba l k" DataField="Baslik" SortExpression="Baslik"></asp:BoundField>

    <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Metin" DataField="Metin" SortExpression="Metin"></asp:BoundField>

    <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Ba lang &#231; Tarihi" DataField="BaslangicTarihi" SortExpression="BaslangicTarihi"></asp:BoundField>

    <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Biti Tarihi" DataField="BitisTarihi" SortExpression="BitisTarihi"></asp:BoundField>

    <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Duyuruyu Ekleyen" DataField="Ekleyen" SortExpression="Ekleyen"></asp:BoundField>

    <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Aktif" DataField="Aktif" SortExpression="Aktif"></asp:BoundField>

    </Columns>

    </asp:GridView>

    There is a property for the textbox called "Textmode". change the property to Multiline, it will add a verticle scrollbar and wrap text in the horizontal. It's very unfortunate that nobody has answered you sooner. Aren't these forums monitored by microsoft

    Here is a better example of the code. It is a textbox:

    <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Research/Analysis Issues" HeaderStyle-CssClass=Rtitle >
    <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" CssClass="bodystyle"
    Text='<%# Bind("research") %>'></asp:Label>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
    <asp:TextBox TextMode=MultiLine Columns=50 Rows=6 ID="EditResearch" runat="server" Wrap="true"
    Text='<%# Bind("research") %>'>
    </asp:TextBox>
    </EditItemTemplate>
    <ControlStyle CssClass="bodystyle" />
    <HeaderStyle Wrap="false" />
    </asp:TemplateField>

    Experiment with the column and row number that is best for your data.

    or you can just use CSS


  • Doc Glazer

    This is not available in a bound field
    You will have to set it up as a custom template field with an itemtemplate
    and edittemplate that contains a textbox in order to set this up.


    <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Birth Date">
      <ItemTemplate> 
       <asp:Label ID="BirthDateLabel" Runat="Server" 
             Text='<%# Eval("BirthDate", "{0Big Smile}") %>' />
      </ItemTemplate>
      <InsertItemTemplate>
       <asp:Calendar ID="InsertBirthDateCalendar" Runat="Server"
              SelectedDate='<%# Bind("BirthDate") %>' />
      </InsertItemTemplate>
      <EditItemTemplate>
       <asp:Calendar ID="EditBirthDateCalendar" Runat="Server"
              VisibleDate='<%# Eval("BirthDate") %>'
              SelectedDate='<%# Bind("BirthDate") %>' />
      </EditItemTemplate>
     </asp:TemplateField> 

    If only editing is allowed you do not need the InsertItemTemplate.
