I found that the behaviour of this provider is to sit as a textbox in multuline inside a hidden DIV, once the cell goes into edit mode the box is then positioned over the cell and the sizes are appointed using inline styles.
The upshot of this is you cannot determin the initial size of an empty TextBox provider. In order to set it, you must set the ItemSize Css setting for the grid. This means that the initial size of the whole grid of level 0 may be way to big because you have to make the Non Editable state big enough so that the Initial State of the Edit is large enough.
Unless I am missing something, this is undesirable. It should be possible to resize the TD's in the Row which goes to edit dynamically ro fit the desired size of the TextBox Editor, this way the row would only increase in size when in edit allowing for a more compact Grid usage of the screen real-estate.
INFRAGISTICS !!! - An answer to this would be most welcome.
Hello soberly,
Can you please upload images/screenshots of your current appearance of the TextEditor provider and another one which demonstrates the desired behavior ?
I am not sure if I understand you correctly but you are trying to resize the row and the cell when you enter in edit mode, isn't it ?
Hope hearing from you soon.
