Is there a way to make the itemheight of a grid to be flexible to the data displayed? I am displaying knowledgebase topics and answers and the answers can be many paragraphs long. Or is there a way to put a scrollbar on the cells of a specific column? What control do you use to display the results in a search on the forums? I notice they are flexible to the content.

Hi,

Unfortunately you can not. Our Grid is a fix item height Grid and that's what enables it to be scrolled smoothly. On the contrary, standard ASP.NET Grid/GridView can have variable height because they do not care about scrolling.

You can put a scroll bar on pretty much anything by setting an HTML element's overflow property. For example:

Code: HTML/ASPX
<div style="width:100px;height:20px;overflow-Y:auto">
some long long long content
</div>


So you can do the same with our Grid by setting the cell text as some HTML similar to those shown above, instead of plain text. This can be easily done by setting the columns' DataFormat property to something like:

<div style="height:20px;overflow-Y:auto">{0}</div>

Where {0} will be replaced with the actual data.

Our forum is standard TABLE rendered through Repeater.

Thanks
