Hello,
I have a web page that uses a grid view. When editing some rows, the gridview expands so that it is no longer viewable on one page without scrolling right. Is there a way to keep the gridview width constant?
Thanks

ajaysharmaapjs - Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I have only been working with ASP.NET for two weeks, so I've had some difficulty applying your suggestions.
I've attached my ASP.NET source code for the page that currently works, but has the issue in the Question with the following columns getting unintentionally wider in edit mode: RegionPts, MarketPts, GrossQuota, NetQuota.
When a renders GridView column, first it checks for the format provided in the "ItemTemplate" block, and renders the column data accordingly.
Secondly if the gridview's row is getting rendered in the EDIT mode then it check for the "EditItemTemplate" and renders the column accordingly.
In my example, while rendering the column in the Edit mode i specified the column's width, hence the content is rendered accordingly.
Feel free to ask any query.

use the EditItemTemplate portion of the gridview to control the styles of controls which are editable during runtime.
e.g.
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Comments">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtComment" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("cComments") %>' Font-Names="Arial" Width="450px" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="4"></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblComment" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("cComments") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
In the above code I specified the width property of the textbox, so during the row editing event it will take a width of 450px.
If the above code doesn't helps you then please post your code.
