Regards,

If you have a fixed width for the gridview column, Just set the width of the textbox to the size of the column of a gridview.

Hi Frndz,

 

Functionality:  Set textbox width inside GridView

 

For that ,

1. Set Header Style Width
2. Set Item Style Width
3. Set Textbox Width
4. If your string is too much long then you need to break your string dynamically

 

Create one function which break the string after specific number of character.

 

Check BreakLongString Function for break the string.

 

Pass BreakLongString Function as

Text='<%# BreakLongString(Eval("Value").ToString(),30) %>'

 

 

There is two argument.

1. Pass the original string
2. Pass number (Break string after ths number)

 

 

 

Logic:

 

Textbox inside Templatefield

 

 

    <asp:TemplateField HeaderStyle-Width="80px" ItemStyle-Width="80px">

          <ItemTemplate>

            <asp:TextBox ID="txtLongString" Width="80px" runat="server" Text='<%# BreakLongString(Eval("Value").ToString(),30) %>'></asp:TextBox>

          </ItemTemplate>

        </asp:TemplateField>

 

 

 

Function for Break Long String

 

public string BreakLongString(string SubjectString, int CharsToBreakAfter)

    {

      string Pattern = "\\S{" + CharsToBreakAfter + ",}";

      int Counter = 0;

      bool IsMatching = Regex.IsMatch(SubjectString, Pattern);

      while (IsMatching)

      {

        Counter++;

        string MatchedString = Regex.Match(SubjectString, Pattern).Value;

        SubjectString = SubjectString.Replace(MatchedString.Substring(0, (CharsToBreakAfter - 1)), MatchedString.Substring(0, (CharsToBreakAfter - 1)) + " ");

        // Prevent endless loops

        if (Counter > 20) break;

        // Check if we still have long strings

        IsMatching = Regex.IsMatch(SubjectString, Pattern);

      }

      return SubjectString;

    }

 

 Hope this helpful!

 

 

Thanks
