I made a minor modification on SelfReferencingGrid.aspx sample file of WebGridSamples project. Below are the detail changes.

1. Enable AllowMultiLine property in “Notes” WebGridColumn

<ISWebGrid:WebGrid ID="WebGrid1" runat="server" ...>
    <RootTable DataKeyField="EmployeeID">
        ...
        <Columns>
            ...
            <ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="Notes" DataMember="Notes" Name="Notes"
                Width="100px" AllowMultiLine="true">
            </ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn>
            ...
        </Columns>
    </RootTable>
</ISWebGrid:WebGrid>

2. Set RowHeightDefault property of LayoutSettings to “-1”

<ISWebGrid:WebGrid ID="WebGrid1" runat="server" ...>
    <LayoutSettings RowHeightDefault="-1"></LayoutSettings>
    <RootTable DataKeyField="EmployeeID">
        ...
        <Columns>
            ...
            <ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="Notes" DataMember="Notes" Name="Notes"
                Width="100px" AllowMultiLine="true">
            </ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn>
            ...
        </Columns>
    </RootTable>
</ISWebGrid:WebGrid>

And the result is shown as follow:

I’m using WebGrid 7.0 (build 406) and WebUI.NET Framework 3.0 (build 757). My browser is IE 8 with IE 8 Standards mode.

Please let us know if you have different scenario or different result.

Hi,

It's not working for me in self reference grids

my version of ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.dll is 6.0.7200.215.

was this implemented recenlty in the product?

Hi,

So found what is happening.the text is wraping for all fields but not for the ExpandColumnMemeber column (eg:"title" ).

any way to wrap this column?this is a critical issue for us.

thanks

Arun

Thank you very much for the finding. It really helps.

By default, the cell content of WebGrid is placed inside the <nobr> tag. Thus, causing the cell content becomes not wrapping. On WebGridColumn where its AllowMultiLine feature is enabled, the cell content of WebGrid is placed inside the <td> tag.

Unfortunately, WebGrid will also add the <nobr> tag on column which defined in ExpandColumnMember in SelfReferenceSettings.

I have forwarded this to WebGrid development team for further investigation. I will let you know whether this is the default behavior of WebGrid or issue.

Edited.Reason:add latest news heard from WebGrid development team.

I just got news from WebGrid development team that this is the default behavior or WebGrid. The ExpandColumnMember column is not suppose to be wrapped.

Hope this helps.
