Dynamically Adjust Row Height Of DataGrid

[Konrad Ferguson]

I really enjoy this site and find it extremely useful in my work. Ok, my problem is that I have a DataGrid with many records (rows). I want some rows to be height 'X' some rows to be height 'Y' etc. How do I do this? From my experience PreferedRowHeight adjusts the hieght of all rows in the DataGrid, but I want to specify the height of each individual row. Thanks so much in advance! You guys are the best!

Here is the solution anyway.
Make a DataView and assign table to it. Set the data grid source to the DataView. Now use DataView.RowFilter

Thanks for trying to help (though you were frustrated at the time, but it's okay); however, I don't think this is what I need. I did read the other messages, such as:

Subject: resize datagrid rows programatically

By george harig at 5/10/2002 11:35:29 AM

I need to resize the rows of a datagrid. The method I am using now is to clear the table style, set the prefered row size then add (re-add)the table style. Is there a better way?

Thank you
George Harig

I don't know of a different way to do this. Evidently, the row height is set during databinding, and then again when a tablestyle is applied, and there appears to be no way to get at row heights at other times. Microsoft Engineer Lion Shi made this comment in a news group posting in response to a question about how to programmatically resize a row. "We cannot customize the properties of a specific row pragmatically. At this point, there is no way to work around this design limitation."

Of course, there are commercial grids, such as Syncfusion's Essential Grid, where you can resize individual rows at any time.

Subject: DB Grid - Hide a row depending upon contents of a cell?

By Peter at 7/25/2002 6:48:49 AM

Hi Clay,
Thank you for your previous responces.
Please if you can help with this. How do I loop through all rows in my DBGrid and hide some of them or change their Hight=0 depending upon the contents of a cell?
Thank you.

I don't know of a way to programatically set the height of a row.

You could possibly do this using the Filter property on a DataView, and bind your datagrid to this filtered Dataview when you want the rows gone, and then rebind it to the full table when you want them to show...

None of these messages help me adjust the height of a row programatically. Clay said, "I don't know of a way to programatically set the height of a row", so I decided to ask if anyone else did. Now, I'm only a college student learning this stuff (for a program I'm doing with my friend) when I'm not out with friends or studing for my summer school class, so I most likely do not know as much as you. I can totally understand that you may have been angry because it appeared I did not read the other posts, so it's ok. Anyways, could you tell me how to use RowFilter to change the height of a row. I only see its use in filtering rows, but not in changing the row height (I've read the Microsoft documentation - am I missing something?).

Thanks a lot,
Konrad
