Display full text in GridTextBoxCellModel

Hi, I am using a custom cell like EllipsisCell from from the sample Essential Studio\4.2.0.37\windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\In Depth\CellButtons\CS in a Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridControl runnig in virtual mode. I am using GridShowButtons.ShowCurrentCell. This works fine except that the text of a cell always shows space for the buttons (in my application two or three buttons) even then they are not shown. I deleted the line innerBounds.Width -= 40; in GridTextBoxCellRenderer.OnLayout and the text is shown in the whole cell but my buttons are overwritten by the text. How can I set the inner bounds to another value when buttons are shown and not shown? Regards, Christian

Hi Christian, You need to check the current cell for detecting the cell button visbility of the cell with GridShowButtons.ShowCurrentCell option in a grid. Here is a code snippet. /// protected override Rectangle OnLayout(int rowIndex, int colIndex, GridStyleInfo style, Rectangle innerBounds, Rectangle[] buttonsBounds) { TraceUtil.TraceCurrentMethodInfo(rowIndex, colIndex, style, innerBounds, buttonsBounds); // Here you specify where the button should be drawn within the cell. Rectangle rightArea = Rectangle.FromLTRB(innerBounds.Right-20, innerBounds.Top, innerBounds.Right, innerBounds.Bottom); buttonsBounds[0] = GridUtil.CenterInRect(rightArea, new Size(20, 20)); // Here you return the area where the text should be drawn/edited. //To Check the button shown or not shown. if( style.ShowButtons == GridShowButtons.ShowCurrentCell || style.ShowButtons == GridShowButtons.ShowCurrentCellEditing ) { // For ShowCurrentCell option button show after click the cell. if( rowIndex == this.CurrentCell.RowIndex && colIndex == this.CurrentCell.ColIndex) { innerBounds.Width -= 20; //For button shown } } else if ( style.ShowButtons == GridShowButtons.Hide ) innerBounds.Width -= 0; else innerBounds.Width -= 20; return innerBounds; } Let me know if this helps.
