Hi Manivannan,

Could you try this code to increase the rowheight of the cell in a grid after storing the multiline text in a cell. Here is a code snippet.

grdRptComments.Model.RowHeights.ResizeToFit(GridRangeInfo.Cell(i,j));
grdRptComments.RefreshRange( GridRangeInfo.Cell(i,j));

Let me know if this helps.
Best Regards,

Mr Haneef, This code would not be helful for me to resolve my issue. I have to concerns in this grid control. 1) When the cell is in active say for eg (1,2) when i try to assign the value using Grid(1,2).Text = <> It throws an exception such as "Object Reference has nothing." 2) when i store the value grdRptComments.Model.CurrentCellInfo.CellView.ControlText = retComment grdRptComments(i, j).Text = grdRptComments.Model.CurrentCellInfo.CellView.ControlText but controltext hold the very first line it will not accept the next line characters. in my scenario retcomment has some strings with multiple lines. when i try to assign the retcomment value to controltext it will accept the very first line from retcomment why? Pls help me to reslove this issue. --Mani

Hi Manivannan,

For this problem, you can try this code

grdRptComments.CurrentCell.Renderer.Control.Text = retComment

instead of this code

grdRptComments.Model.CurrentCellInfo.CellView.ControlText = retComment
grdRptComments(i, j).Text = retComment

Whether this works will depend upon the CellType used in the cell. Also point out the code is Renderer.Control.Text and not Renderer.ControlText.

Dear Haneef,
I tried using this code

grdRptComments.CurrentCell.Renderer.Control.Text = retComment

it won''t help for me.

Still i am facing the same problem

it accepts the very first line only.

Hi Manivannan,

How you are trying to display a button and text in the same cell?

What celltype are you using? Is it one of ours, or is it a custom celltype that you have created.

Are you using unbound column or bound column? If it is bound, then the comment should be stored in the datasource (should happen automatically).

Once we know the cell type, then we can prepare a little sample that uses that celltype and help you to solve the issue

Thanks for your co-operation.
