I had set the WrapMode = true, but it does not wrap the text that without spaces and I try to play with the CellPainting Event, but it still did not show the whole sentences in the datagridview. I want to make it larger each time when it is necessary.


Please have a look on the image to have better understanding on the current situation. Here's the link: SCREENSHOT1[^]

What I have tried:

dataGridView3.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;
dataGridView3.AutoSizeRowsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.AllCells;


private void dataGridView3_CellPainting(object sender, DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Value == null) return;
    if (e.FormattedValue.GetType() != typeof(System.String)) return;
    bool selected = (e.State & DataGridViewElementStates.Selected)
                            == DataGridViewElementStates.Selected;
    string s = e.FormattedValue.ToString();


    e.PaintBackground(e.CellBounds, selected);
    e.Graphics.DrawString(s, dataGridView1.Font, selected ?
                   SystemBrushes.HighlightText : SystemBrushes.ControlText,
                   new Rectangle(e.CellBounds.X + 1, e.CellBounds.Y + 2,
                                 e.CellBounds.Width - 2, e.CellBounds.Height - 4));
        e.Handled = true;

}

You could use the TextRenderer.MeasureText Method[^]
to create a routine that wraps the text in a given box size.

Also see: TextFormatFlags Enum[^]

And this might be useful too: visual studio - C# - DataGridView with Wrap text in Cell but without spaces - Stack Overflow[^]
