Hello,

How can I size my text to fit in a datagrid column ? I do not want the
datagrid go multiline.

I am using WEB Forms, not windows form, so CreateGraphics ans MesasureString
do not work.


Thanks.

Try using css rule white-space: nowrap. It is also available on server side
as Wrap property in style parameters. You can also consider using
non-breaking spaces characters  .

Thanks a lot.

This has helped me to avoid multiline breaks. But now, the column is sized
to the longest text. I would like to size myself the column width, and the
text being clipped. I have tried overflow:hidden or owerflow-x:hidden, but
could not get it working. So I would like to cut the string in code (full
string displayed in the tootip). But I need to know the pixel lenght of the
string. iii not same size as mmm.

Francois.

It is difficult to be precise in pixels since you don't have control over
client browser settings. A better idea would be to compromise and to
truncate the strings to a fixed character length.
