multiline column in datagrid that accepts return

[mbutch]

Can this be done? I have a memo field that I want to be edited in a datagrid on a win form. I want to be able to show three lines at a time and use returns. Here is what I've tried.

DataGridTextBoxColumn colFullInfo = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
colFullInfo.MappingName = "fullinfo";
colFullInfo.Width = 400;
colFullInfo.HeaderText = "Extended Product Info";
this.styles.GridColumnStyles.Add(colFullInfo);

this.dataGrid1.SetDataBinding(this.dataSet11, "stock");

this.styles.MappingName = "stock";

this.dataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(this.styles);

DataGridTextBoxColumn myTextBoxColumn;

myTextBoxColumn = (DataGridTextBoxColumn) this.dataGrid1.TableStyles["stock"].GridColumnStyles["fullinfo"];

DataGridTextBox myGridTextBox;

myGridTextBox = (DataGridTextBox) myTextBoxColumn.TextBox;

myGridTextBox.AcceptsReturn = true;

myGridTextBox.Multiline = true;

myGridTextBox.Height = 40;

myGridTextBox.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Both;[code]

The only thing that works is the scroll bar.  Does anyone have some ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

Memo fields, Text fields, blob fields etc... could be huge and I suggest you to put an X in the column of the memo field if there is something in the field.
When you click on this column (with X, for example )you display the memo text in a separate edit box where you allow the updates of this field and when finished you will update the DataTable (DataSet) accordingly.
