Hi,
I use dataGrid to show data from DataBase. In one table I've text field
(varchar 2048) and data in this field is very long (more characters). How
show this text in datagrid as multiline or which component use to show
multiline date.

Thx PawelR
 
PawelR,

You might want to get the DataGridTextBoxColumn instance that represents
the column being shown. Once you do that, you should get the TextBox
returned by the TextBox property. On that, you should set the Multiline
property to true. This should allow the text to wrap in the box when you
change the height of the rows.

However, the default height for the textbox will remain the same. If
you want to change this, then you will need to derive a class from
DataGridTextBoxColumn and override the GetMinimumHeight method to return a
larger height (right now it bases that height on the font height).

Hope this helps.
 
Thx Nicholas,
Write me please how get the TextBox returned by the TextBox property. In
DataGridTextBoxColumn, I don't find TextBox property. Please write me sample
source code.

PawelR,

When you get the DataGridColumnStyle, cast it to an instance of
DataGridTextBox column, and then access the TextBox property.
