DataGrid - row max height

created 6 years ago

Hello,

We're running into a problem with the dxdatagrid. We want to limit the height of a row, to avoid a row with a lot of data to fill up a lot of the page. However, we haven't found a way to do this. I've taken a look at the onRowPrepared method to see if I can add some css to the row to set a max-height, but setting a max height on a tr or a td doesn't have any effect.

I'm looking for a global solution, since our datagrids are used in lots of places in our product. So just changing the contents of a specific cell to not become very high is not really an option for us.

Hello Hilbert,

DataGrid displays ellipsis if the wordWrapEnabled option is not set and the cell text does not fit into a cell. In this case, the row height is not increased. Take a look at this CodePen sample page.
If this approach doesn't meet your requirements, would you please provide your DataGrid configuration and a screenshot of the issue so we can provide you with the most suitable solution?

Regards,
Romeo

      Hi,

      <<<
      However, setting a max-height doesn't work on a tr or td. I've now tried a solution by adding a div around the contents of EVERY cell in the datagrid, and setting a max height on them.
      >>>

      Yes, our DataGrid renders its content by using the HTML Tables. As mentioned on the How to set maximum height for table-cell? webpage, there is no direct approach to limit the table row/cell height because it always depends on content. So, the only solution is to wrap its content into an extra DIV element with a limited height.

      You can use the cellTemplate in the context of our DataGrid control to customize the cell's markup.

      Should you need further clarification, feel free to ask. I will be happy to help you.

        Ok thanks, that's what I was afraid of. We'll keep the current workaround in place then.
