How to arrange two combined columns of DataGridView?

Mayank Jani

Dear Members,

Happy Diwali...

I am working on a project in C# Windows Application. I have a DataGridView in a form and simply it is for displaying data from a data table. Due to the design of the DGV with other controls of the form I have to keep it small. I managed to display four columns in to three. Obviously, I combined tow columns in to one. There is a problem, the first column is displaying data continuously and I want to add someting like a paragraph.

e.g. it displays...

12/11/2018 Order placed for a, b, c

I want it to display

12/11/2018

Order placed for a, b, c

I am unable to explain more than this and I do not know how to explain in Google to solve this problem. So, I have attached a screen shot made in MS Excel which can explain betterly what I want. please take a look and help me.

Thanks

Hey members,

I just get it done by putting some extra spaces between +' '+. I calculated the total width of the cell and lessed the space of the date so, after adding the date it will put some blanks till the cell end and, start a new line.

I am closing the tread.

Thanks

Hii Laxmidhar and Sreekanth,

thank you for your reply...
friends, this is not about to enable wrap text mode. I have been done it wherever it is necessary. My problem is the date should be separate from other text regardless there is enough data for to be wrapped or not.
In other words, first column is date then second column should start from below the date.

Kindly help accordingly.

Thanks

@reddy you are currect .I am also more clear here
dataGridView1.CellBorderStyle = DataGridViewCellBorderStyle.None;

         dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;
            dataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
            dataGridView1.AllowUserToResizeColumns = false;

Hi Mayank Jani,
-->Set AutoSizeRowsMode property to AllCells. This allows row height to grow with any wrapped text.
-->Set DataGridView.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode to DataGridViewTriState.True to wrap text in the cells.
-->Most importantly set DataGridView.AutoSizeColumnsMode to DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.None so that the columns don't resize themselves (so they remain at the user specified width).

If it helps, accept as answer. Else come up with your query.
Thank you.
