Sorry for late reply. I was not at my machine. Try coding to similar to the
following sub. This code is from a project 'GridDemo' by Alex. Unfortunately
I don't have the link for it (If Alex is watching this thread, he may
provide the link). Of course this is in C#, but it can be converted to VB
very easily. The attached screen shot shows how it looks on the PPC. Here
long text containing space chars between words is displayed in a grid column
which is not wide enough. If it works, thank Alex Fienman.

// Create and populate data set. The data set will have one table called
"Books", that
// contains book title, price and whether it is in stock. For the sake of
simplicity the InStock
// column is string. To do it properly, it must have been made a bool and
then we would create a calculated
// (expression-based) column to display its contents as Yes/No. The grid
column would be then bound to
// this calculated column

No, a space char seperates the words.
It seems, you have a tab char instead of space char separating the words.
Check it.
ThanQ...
Hello Newsgroup!
I have a DataGrid. In the cells of this DataGrid are strings displayed
which
consists of more then one word. When the collum of the DataGrid is not
wide
enough, ervery word of the hole string is displayed in a own line
in
the
cell.
How can i prevent the newline?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
