Question

My question is simple, but I can not think of an easy solution. Lets say I have a DataGridViewTextBoxColumn. How can I make it break text into several lines if it is too long to be shown in one line?

Answer 1

You need to create a new DataGridViewCellStyle class with the WrapMode property set to “True”, and assign this to the DefaultCellStyle property of your DataGridViewTextBoxColumn.

For example:

DataGridViewCellStyle dgvCellStyle = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
dgvCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;

myDataGridView.Columns[0].DefaultCellStyle = dgvCellStyle;
