I have a panel inside a gridview and I need it to be 'spread' for the width of the row :
never mind what's in the panel. What I show here is just to demo my needs...My HTML:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
CellPadding="3"
CssClass="myGrid"
DataKeyNames="Role_Name">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#E6E6E6" />
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="imgShow" runat="server" OnClick="Show_Hide_details" BorderStyle="None" BackColor="Transparent" ImageUrl="~/Content/Images/Arrow_Down.png"
CommandArgument="Show" />
<asp:Panel ID="pnlRole" runat="server" Style="position: relative;" Visible="false">
<asp:Label ID="lblAAA" runat="server" Text="aaa" /><br />
<asp:Label ID="lblBBB" runat="server" Text="bbb" /><br />
<asp:Label ID="lblCCC" runat="server" Text="ccc" /><br />
<asp:Label ID="lblDDD" runat="server" Text="ddd" /><br />
</asp:Panel>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Role_Name" HeaderText="Name">
<HeaderStyle Width="100px" />
<ItemStyle CssClass="myGridItemMaxWidth" HorizontalAlign="Left" Wrap="false" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Role_Description" HeaderText="Description">
<HeaderStyle Width="150px" />
<ItemStyle CssClass="myGridItemMaxWidth" HorizontalAlign="Left" Wrap="false" />
</asp:BoundField>
</Columns>
<HeaderStyle CssClass="myGridHeader" />
<RowStyle ForeColor="#000066" />
</asp:GridView>
I'd appreciate any help/idea/solution.
EDIT :
To better explain my problem, here's another image :
(never mind what's in the panel. What I show here is just to demo my needs...)
Here is what I came up with -
On the left is the GridView when all rows are 'closed'. On the right, after 'opening' 2 rows:
Markup:
<form id="form1" runat="server" style="">
<asp:ScriptManager runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<table runat="server" style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0 auto; font-family: Arial;">
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center; width: 500px; overflow: hidden">
<asp:GridView ID="grv_Four_Rows" runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" BackColor="black" GridLines="None"
CellPadding="3" CssClass="myGrid" DataKeyNames="Test1_First_Name">
<HeaderStyle CssClass="myGridHeader" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#b5c7de" />
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#d1e0e0" />
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
<HeaderTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td style="width: 150px;">First</td>
<td style="width: 150px;">Last</td>
</tr>
</table>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>

<td style="width: 150px"><%# Eval("Test1_First_Name")%></td>
<td style="width: 150px"><%# Eval("Test1_Last_Name")%></td>
</asp:Panel>

I still have lots of formatting and cosmetic issues but for those I'll open a new post.
Hope it helps someone.
