Multi-line DataGridTextBoxColumn

How to create DataGridTextBoxColumn With Multiple Lines? Is it possible?

[donnacha]

did you find out how to do this yet. I have been searching for a solution to this for a while. It is possible to do as I have found a 3rd party component that does it, but I can not use this as I need to have all the code in my application. If you have solved this please let me know.

First, create a class with this code...

 

Public Class CNGridMultiLineTextBox

Inherits System.Windows.Forms.DataGridTextBoxColumn

 

Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Edit(ByVal source As CurrencyManager, ByVal rowNum As Integer, ByVal bounds As Rectangle, ByVal readOnly1 As Boolean, ByVal instantText As String, ByVal cellIsVisible As Boolean)

DataGridTableStyle.DataGrid.Select(rowNum)

End Sub

 

Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Paint(ByVal g As System.Drawing.Graphics, ByVal bounds As System.Drawing.Rectangle, ByVal source As System.Windows.Forms.CurrencyManager, ByVal rowNum As Integer, ByVal backBrush As System.Drawing.Brush, ByVal foreBrush As System.Drawing.Brush, ByVal alignToRight As Boolean)

MyBase.Paint(g, bounds, source, rowNum, backBrush, foreBrush, alignToRight)

 

g.FillRectangle(backBrush, bounds)

Dim vText As String

If IsDBNull(MyBase.GetColumnValueAtRow(source, rowNum)) Then

vText = ""

Else

vText = CType(MyBase.GetColumnValueAtRow(source, rowNum), String)

End If

 

g.DrawString(vText, Me.TextBox.Font, foreBrush, New RectangleF(bounds.X, bounds.Y, bounds.Width, bounds.Height))

End Sub

 

Protected Overrides Sub ColumnStartedEditing(ByVal editingControl As System.Windows.Forms.Control)

 

End Sub

 

 

End Class

 

 

Then update the rowheight of your grid. It did work for me.

Hi grivero,

I presume you mean updating the PrefferedRowHeight of the grid. If this is the case it canges all the rows of the grid, not just the ones that need to be changed.

Row heights

 

I have the same problem. I can't set the individual row heights. This way relativly easy in VB6.

Any suggestions?
