How to set the DataGridViewCell to automatically word wrap?

Question

The code below which I found on MSN did not worked to automatically word-wrap a cell:

dataGridView.Columns[0].AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.D         


        

Answer 1

This may help someone.

If you need target specific columns use the below as what is int he question will not work, as items is not available in c# 4.5

dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;
dataGridView1.Columns[2].AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.DisplayedCells;
dataGridView1.Columns[2].DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;

Answer 2

just include the second line in code..... like in my code ... it is working perfectly

da.Fill(dtusers);

dataGridView1.DataSource = dtusers;
// dataGridView1.AutoResizeColumns(DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells);
dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;

Answer 3

You could also make it, in this way

DataGridViewTextBoxColumn comments = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
{
    comments.Name = "comments";
    comments.HeaderText = "Comments";
    comments.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.AllCells;
    comments.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;
    this.dataGridView1.Columns.Add(comments);
}

Answer 4

Just Add This Lines in form_Load Method

this.dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;

Answer 5

You also need to set DataGridView.AutoSizeRowsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.AllCells (along with what you have done) for word-wrap to work.
