Is there a way to adjust the grid row height based on length of text that is assigned to a grid cell?

I am using MeasureString method of a PDfFont instance to get the size and using that to set thr pdfgrid row height.

In some cases, the string of `asdalksjdakldhajlhskjdfhasljfaskldjfaskldfjaskldfjsklajklsmdfsdmn`

the cell width = 362 and height is 14

Using a specific font and style, the measure string returns height of 7 , which does not work

what is the best way to caluclate the string dimension and adjust the pdfgrid row height

Hi Jp,
 
Thanks for using syncfusion product,

We have created the sample to calculate the string height and also adjusted the pdfGrid height with the string height, Please try the sample in your environment and let us know if you found any issue.

thanks for the solution. however it does not give the correct height. modifying your code as below, you will observe that the height is not adjusted correctly

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            //create a new pdf document

            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

            //create new page

            PdfPage page = doc.Pages.Add();

            Font ffont = new Font("Arial", 6, FontStyle.Regular);

            //create a new pdf font

            PdfFont font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(ffont,true);

            //create a pdfgrid

            PdfGrid grid = new PdfGrid();

            //add new row to grid

            grid.Rows.Add();

            //add new column to grid

            grid.Columns.Add(10);

            PdfGridCellStyle style = new PdfGridCellStyle();

            style.Font = font;

            grid.Rows[0].Cells[0].Style = style;

            

            //measure the string height

            SizeF size = font.MeasureString("Toto jeřetězec, který sycnfusion státy by změna velikosti");

        

            grid.Rows[0].Height = size.Height + 1;

           

            

            //set the text to grid cell

            grid.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value = "Toto jeřetězec, který sycnfusion státy by změna velikosti";

            //draw the grid to pdf

            grid.Draw(page, PointF.Empty);

            //save the pdf document

            doc.Save("Pdfgrid.pdf");

            //close the document

            doc.Close(true);

            

        }

any other ideas?

Hi Jp,

 

We have changed the sample as per your requirement, and also paste the code snippet for your reference. Please try this sample and let us know if you have any concern.

 

• Here we have calculated the column width as default to calculate the height of the PdfGrid row. You can also set the column width manually and calculate the height based on that width.

            //Get total width of the page

            float pagewidth = page.GetClientSize().Width;

           //divide the grid column count to page width now get a single column width

            float columnWidth = pagewidth /= numberOfColumn;

            //divide the text width and column width

            float lineCount = (size.Width / columnWidth)+1;

            //set the row height

            grid.Rows[0].Height = ((size.Height+1) * lineCount;

 

• In the second page of the generated PDF, we have created a CheckFontMeasuredString method to check the measured string value is correct or not. I have attached the output PDF document generated from our side; if you found any difference please provide us the PDF document generated from your side.

Used your code and noticed that there is padding on the text on page 1. Page 2 of your sample shows correct rendering and no Left and Right padding.

Change the # of columns to 14 and on Cell[0] the text will be rendered but with some padding on top and bottom

Hi Jp,
Thanks for your update.
I am afraid that I am not able to reproduce the reported issue. I have attached the working sample for your reference could you please modify the sample to reproduce the issue so that we will analyse in this and provide you the solution at the earliest.
