How to resize row height based on the font of Grid cell content in WinForms GridControl?
Resize the row height
In order to resize the row height based on the cell content height in WinForms Grid Control, the ResizingRows event can be used. The resizing value is calculated from the content height using MeasuringString() method.
The rows individually can be resized using the AllowResizingIndividualRows() method of GridHelperclasses.
C#
GridEngineFactory.Factory = new Syncfusion.GridHelperClasses.AllowResizingIndividualRows();
gridControl1.ResizingRows += gridControl1_ResizingRows;
Size stringSize;
void gridControl1_ResizingRows(object sender, GridResizingRowsEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Reason == GridResizeCellsReason.DoubleClick)
{
Graphics grapics = CreateGraphics();
long maxHeight = 0;
GridStyleInfo style = this.gridControl1.GetViewStyleInfo(e.Rows.Bottom, 1);
stringSize = grapics.MeasureString(style.Text, style.GdipFont).ToSize();
if (maxHeight < stringSize.Height)
{
maxHeight = (long)stringSize.Height;
}
this.gridControl1.Model.RowHeights[e.Rows.Bottom] = (int)maxHeight;
e.Cancel = true;
}
}
VB
GridEngineFactory.Factory = New Syncfusion.GridHelperClasses.AllowResizingIndividualRows() AddHandler gridControl1.ResizingRows, AddressOf gridControl1_ResizingRows Dim stringSize As Size void gridControl1_ResizingRows(Object sender, GridResizingRowsEventArgs e) If e.Reason = GridResizeCellsReason.DoubleClick Then Dim grapics As Graphics = CreateGraphics() Dim maxHeight As Long = 0 Dim style As GridStyleInfo = Me.gridControl1.GetViewStyleInfo(e.Rows.Bottom, 1) stringSize = grapics.MeasureString(style.Text, style.GdipFont).ToSize() If maxHeight < stringSize.Height Then maxHeight = CLng(Fix(stringSize.Height)) End If Me.gridControl1.Model.RowHeights(e.Rows.Bottom) = CInt(Fix(maxHeight)) e.Cancel = True End If
