thanks for replying ... i hve even changed the height of the rows ... but its still not working ... i hve read the whole document of gridctrl.asp again nd looked for the words u mentioned, but they are not there ... is it somehow possible for u to make a small application in which there is a cell with multiline ... i would reallly appreciate it regards Bilal

hi every bdy, does ny bdy here know how to make a cell, in MFCGridCtrl multiline. Like if the text is more than the width of the cell than it should go into the next line. I have tried using SetItemFormat nRow,0,ES_MULTILINE|ES_AUTOVSCROLL|ES_WANTRETURN) with these parameters but i doesnt seems to work. I would be really greatful if ny bdy could help me in this regard regards, Bilal. Email bilal793@yahoo.com
