Resize Row for Multi-Line Text Box Entry

[Matthew Snyder]

Is there a way to automatically resize a row based on the height of a multi-line TextBox in the row?  I have an SfDataGrid with a GridTemplateColumn that contains a multi-line TextBox in the EditTemplate.  I have enabled the Enter key to go through to the text box, but the user can't see what they're typing on the next line because the row does not resize.  A scrollbar appears, but only the top arrow is visible on it.  Thanks for the help.

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

We have analyzed your query.

You can automatically resize a row when you type multi-line text in SfDataGrid by using QueryRowHeight event.

C#:QueryRowHeightEvent

private void datagrid_QueryRowHeight(object sender, QueryRowHeightEventArgs e)

        {

            if (this.datagrid.GridColumnSizer.GetAutoRowHeight(e.RowIndex, gridRowResizingOptions, out Height))

            {

                e.Height = Height;

                e.Handled = true;

            }

        }

For measuring the text while using GridTemplateColumn, you need to derive a new class from our GridColumnSizer and override the MeasureTemplate method like below,

C#:GridColumnSizer.

public class dColumnSizerExt : GridColumnSizer

    {

        public dColumnSizerExt(SfDataGrid grid)

            : base(grid)

        {

        }

        protected override Size MeasureTemplate(object record, GridColumn column)

        {      

           

            var data = record.GetType().GetProperty(column.MappingName).GetValue(record); 

                 var datatext=Convert.ToString(data);

               

                    FormattedText formattedtext = GetFormattedText(column, record, datatext);

                        formattedtext.Trimming = TextTrimming.None;

                               

                            formattedtext.MaxTextWidth = this.DataGrid.GetVisualContainer().ColumnWidths.DefaultLineSize;

                            formattedtext.MaxTextHeight = double.MaxValue;

                                     

                                if (formattedtext.MaxTextWidth > (Margin.Left + Margin.Right))

                                    formattedtext.MaxTextWidth -= (Margin.Left + Margin.Right);                   

            return new Size(formattedtext.Width, formattedtext.Height);                           

        }

        private FormattedText GetFormattedText(GridColumn column, object record, string datatext)

        {

             FormattedText formattedtext;

                formattedtext = new FormattedText(datatext, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, DataGrid.FlowDirection, new Typeface(FontFamily, new FontStyle(), new FontWeight(), new FontStretch()), 14, Brushes.Black);

            return formattedtext;

        }
