Ok i kept playing with this and there is something wrong: I made the date column to fit, and everything worked fine, now i added more columns which don't use a labelFunction but don't fit in their columns and the wordWrap is doing the same, cutting them horizontally (row's height is messed up).
So i think there's an issue here, and the thing is that i can't make all the columns fit because of the paper width, so any more ideas? By the way i tried to do a printDataGrid.validateNow() and it also works funny, it prints some empty rows, for example if my grid was supposed to print 5 rows, when i use printDataGrid.validateNow() it prints those five plus 6 more empty rows. what should i do? --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If you change the width of the date column, does it show up correctly? > You might have hit a boundary condition between the measured size and > the actual size where the word-wrap wraps when actually displayed than > when it is measured.
