Word Wrapping

[shimmorilParticipant]

Is it possible to enable word wrapping within the grid? We’ve got a large number of columns to display in a fairly small area, and being able to wrap text would be very useful.

Hi shimmoril,

You can enable word wrapping by returning HTML with support for word wrapping from the columns cellsrenderer function. However, the rows height will not be adjusted automatically.

What do you mean by ‘HTML with support for word wrapping’?

When you say that the row height will not be automatically adjusted, I assume you mean that we would need to manually specify the row height via the grid ‘rowsheight’ property? And if we didn’t set it correctly the contents of the row would not appear properly?

Hi shimmoril,

1. HTML with enabled word wrapping i.e with appropriate setting for the CSS white-space property. By default, The cells in jqxGrid are with disabled text wrapping i.e the value of white-space is set to ‘nowrap’.

2. Yes, Rows Height will not be adjusted automatically depending on the cells content and the wrapped text will not be displayed, if the row’s height is smaller than the cell’s text height.
