GridView row heights and padding

[Hennie]

Hi

How do I decrease the padding or margin of a grid's rows/cells so the overall height of the row is decreased.

Hi Hennie,


If you want to be able to decrease Padding/Margin properties in GridViewCells you can create a simple style that is targeted at GridViewCell and set its Padding property to a value that will satisfy your personal requirements. On the other hand RadGridView has a property RowHeight which you can use to manipulate the height of GridViewRows. At the attached sample are demonstrated both approaches.



If you need any further assistance please let me know.

Hello Telerik Team,

I cannot set the RowHeight to a fix value as my app allows the user to increase/ decrease the font size. If the RowHeight is set to a fix value and the font size is made too large the row content overflows.

Setting the Padding as described did not help in reducing the height of the row.

What do you guys suggest? I think there is a lot of padding on the top and bottom of the row / cell there has to be a way to control just this without templating the entire row or cell

Let me know.

Kumar

Hi Kumar,

 

Resetting the Padding of a cell will remove the default space around GridViewCell's Content.
Combining this with a fixed row height should do the trick.
Indeed the approach described in my previous post is the recommended one.
