controlling size of editcommand column in edit mode

[Nedu N]

I am facing problem in controlling the size of the edit command coulmn
after...both before clicking edit and also during when we see the
update/cancel look...i have got imgaes instead of Edit and Update/Cancel
text...
Also i face problems in controlling the column widths in edit mode on my
template columns....Item-Style width doesn't seem to work....

this is easier accomplished with javascript. try adding a width attribute
with a dimension to the cell
cell.attribute("width","10");
roughly

Hi Nedu,

I agree with the answer from Alvin. I'd like to add more information.

Before clicking edit, you may control the column width in the
DataGrid.ItemCreated. The following is a code snippet for demonstration.

private void DataGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item ||e.Item.ItemType==
ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
e.Item.Cells[0].Attributes .Add("width","100");
}
}

After clicking edit, you may control the column width of controls in the
DataGrid using DataGrid.PreRender event. Please check a code snippet below
for a demonstration. You may modify the code to meet your requirements.

private void DataGrid1_PreRender(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
int n=DataGrid1.EditItemIndex;
if (n!=-1)
{
TextBox t1=(TextBox)DataGrid1.Items [n].Cells [1].Controls[0];
t1.Width =150;
}
}

Does this answer your question? Please let me know if you need more
information

Best regards,
Lewis

You might also try something like this (snip)

Sub Display2_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As DataGridItemEventArgs)

if display2.EditItemIndex > -1 then
if display2.EditItemIndex = e.item.itemindex then
ctype(e.Item.Cells(3).controls(0),textbox).Width = Unit.Pixel(35)
ctype(e.Item.Cells(6).controls(0),textbox).Width = Unit.Pixel(45)

....
