Prevent Text Wrapping in the Grid

Environment

Product Progress® Telerik® UI Grid for ASP.NET MVC
Product Version 2017.3.1026

Description

How can I prevent the text wrapping of a Grid item in a single-line stop?

Solution

Use the following CSS implementation to prevent wrapping in all grid cells.

.k-grid td{
  white-space: nowrap;
}

Use the following implementation to prevent wrapping in specific grid cells.

  1. Use the attributes configuration of the grid to add a class to specific columns.
  2. Prevent wrapping only for the elements with the specified class.
    <div id="grid"></div>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#grid").kendoGrid({
                dataSource: {
                    type: "odata",
                    transport: {
                        read: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Northwind.svc/Orders"
                    },
                    schema: {

                            fields: {

                                Freight: { type: "number" },
                                ShipName: { type: "string" },
