Display without line breaks in datagrid

Question

I have datagrid that it's bound to datatable, the problem is that it shows each row with multiline form like:

XAML looks like:

<DataGrid    
     DataContext="{Binding DashBoardUCVM, Source={StaticResource Locator}}" 
     Foreground="Black"
     FontSize="16"                
     Background="White"
     IsReadOnly="True"
     SelectedIndex="{Binding SelectedIndexDDG}"
     SelectedValue="{Binding SelectionValueDDG}" 
     ItemsSource="{Binding JobsViewDG}">        
</DataGrid>

I have tried like this answer, and added RowHeight="50", but the I get:

i.e it shows only the top part of the content. I need something like:

what does `Log` contain, i.e. does that string contain newlines? — default, Mar 05 '19 at 13:00
@BugsFixer: Then you need to either remove the newlines from the `DataTable` or use a converter that removes the newlines. — mm8, Mar 05 '19 at 14:48

I don't quite completly understand what you want to acomplish here. But i think there is a problem with showing multiple lines in the datagrid.

As i see it, the problem is not the datagrid is the data you send. Try to process the data before passing it to the datagrid. What i normally do when the raw data does not fit me is use a DataTable. In the datatable I can modify it's value as I need it, withdraw or adding info does is a simple matter, and then i can pas it to the DataGrid by binding or simple passing it directly to it's ItemSource by DataTable.AsDataView().

PS: Be careful that the columns of the DataTAble and the DataGrid have to be binded between them (the datagrid column content must have the same binding name as the datatable header)

If I understand your problem correctly, you want to get rid of wrapping which can be achieved using:

<DataGrid ...>
<DataGrid.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
        <Setter Property="TextWrapping" Value="NoWrap"/>
    </Style>
</DataGrid.Resources>
...

as found here WPF DataGrid Cell Text Wrapping - set to NoWrap (False)

You can specify width you are willing to start with and rest will be hidden on the right side of the column.
