equal spacing b/w rows in datagrid possible?

Renu · September 9th, 2004, 01:13 PM

Hi-
I am using a datagrid with 10 record on each page. If the number of records are less than 10, the rows are widely spaced. Is it possible to make the spacing between rows constant?

Have you tried setting the height of the datagrid?

What should I set it to. It is set to 272px right now. But the problem is with the rows within the datagrid.
Thanks

Ok. I got it done by using the itemstyle-height property for each column in the datagrid.
Thanks for looking into it though.

If you set and explicit height for the grid, it will expand the rows to fill the height. Thus, then you have less than the max row count per page, you'll have taller rows than normal. Either do not set the height of the grid or set an explicit height for the items as you have done.

OK, well I haven't had to format a datagrid's height, but it is just a table, right? So if you set the height to something low, say 100px, then it should auto expand for each row that is added, but not fill the entire page until you get enough rows to reach it.

Haven't tried it and if you want formatting on a per row basis it probably isn't the way to go, but if all you want is for it to not expand the rows the height of the page I think it should work.

if I were you I would act like katsarosj,
set the Height of your grid to 1px not 0px or empty

That was an easy solution. I set the datagrid height to 0 and got the desired result. Thanks.

I overlooked this when I originally posted this, but Peter is basically saying the same thing. When you added the datagrid, you must have dragged the height or set it initially - my guess. If you just add a datagrid from the toolbar, the height should not be specified.

My suggestion would be more useful if there was a certain height that you didn't want it to fall under. Otherwise, just don't set it (delete the height and you should get the same result).

No,its Highly recommended you set it,consider situations you put your grid inside another complicated Table ....
set the height of your grid(<Table> tag)to the minimum value that 1px would be the best one it assure you the height of your grid is the same as total heights of your rows(I saw somewhere even 0px doesnt work correctly but no problem with 1px)...
