I accidently posted this in the Database & Reporting for VB 4, 5, 6. :angel:

I hope this is the place to go for VB.NET questions. I created a Windows
Application using DataGrid in VB.NET. I used the example I found on this
video to bind two tables together and show it on a DataGrid:

My question is this: in table(1) there is a field called Description. Is
there a way to increase the height and width of the cell to show the
description? If the cell is not large enough (sometimes the description can
get a bit 'wordy') is there a way to use a scrollbar? I figured out a way to increase the width from the table(0) but not height or scrollbars. :wacko:

I do need an answer ASAP.

TIA

Hi oasisok,

You can set height property through DataGridTableStyle class.

[vb:1:e08b252a03]Dim ts1 As New DataGridTableStyle()
With ts1
.MappingName = "ASM"
.PreferredColumnWidth = 125
.PreferredRowHeight = 15
End With

'And column width through DataGridColumnStyle class.
Dim cs1 As DataGridColumnStyle = New DataGridTextBoxColumn()
cs1.MappingName = "Qt"
cs1.HeaderText = "blah"
cs1.Width = 55
cs1.ReadOnly = True
ts1.GridColumnStyles.Add(cs1)
grdByMonth.TableStyles.Add(ts1)[/vb:1:e08b252a03]

for a particular cell though I'm afraid you would need some other technique for instance showing a text box on cell place. However using column width and cells height properties through DataGridColumnStyle, DataGridTableStyle classes should be enough for most cases.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
