In the project where I use the Infragistics components, there is a customer request to split the column headers in two lines. They need a lot of narrow columns and the headers are too wide on one line.
I looked through the forum posts and in the docs but could not find a hint how this can be done
Thank you in advance for any idea how this can be done.

Hello,
Here is a working link:
http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/WPF/2012.1/CLR4/?page=xamDataGrid_Changing_the_Default_Column_and_Row_Definitions.html
The link is broken, this is what I get:
An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Hi Vlad
Thank you very much for your help. With your input it was indeed simpler than I thought.
Best Regards
Hi Markus,
You can try to set LabelTextWrapping property to Wrap and either change the column's width or increase the label's text width (in my case with an empty spaces) in order the text to be wrapped on multiple rows.
<igDP:Field Name="ProductName" Label="Product Name"> <igDP:Field.Settings> <igDP:FieldSettings LabelTextWrapping="Wrap"/> </igDP:Field.Settings></igDP:Field>
Another option is to add a newline symbol (
) : Label="Product
Name"
I think this should work fine for some simple scenarios like wrapping two or three words but you can also try to retemplate the LabelPresenter element and add more textblock elements and use custom binding.

Thanks for your answer. What I mean is not quite what's shown in the documentation. What my customer wishes are Header with two text line per Column Header.
So for example the Column Header ProductName wurde become
ProductName
