I can not figure out how to wrap the text in my headers. I have a couple of headers that are 4 or 5 words long and I would like those to wrap to a second line.

I have tried making my headers taller by changing the height. That did not work. I also tried setting the ColumnManagerCell TextWrapping property to "wrap" and that did not work.

Any ideas?

TIA!

I experienced a little bit and came to that solution:



<xcdg:Column FieldName="MyColumn"
Title="asdf asdfalskjhfa asdfkjlhasdflkjasdfh asdklfjhalksjhfasdf"
Width="225"
TitleTemplate="{StaticResource columnTitleTemplate}"/>


With this template in the resources:

<DataTemplate x:Key="columnTitleTemplate">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
MaxWidth="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type xcdg:Cell}}, Path=ParentColumn.Width}" />
</DataTemplate>

Thanks for the effort Marc.

I tried to implement your solution but did not get the desired result. The long text in my header did not wrap to a second line. I'm sure your solution would work if I knew what I was doing. But I don't.

Thanks for trying.

Hi Dugr,

 Was trying to achieve the same thing as yourself, playing with what Marc sent through I came up with:

<xcdg:Column FieldName="Field1" ReadOnly="True" Title="Field with lots of text to be wrapped" MaxWidth="100" TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow" >

<xcdg:Column.TitleTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding}" MaxWidth="100"/>

</DataTemplate>

</xcdg:Column.TitleTemplate>

</xcdg:Column>

 

which appears to do the trick, I feel that the solution Marc offered is the way to go as it allows dynamic configuration through the resources, rather than doing the template on the column as I have, however this at least gave me an idea of what was going on. Hopefully this can be of use to you.

 

thanks

Dave
