Hello,

Does anybody know why autosize width for columns in a grid datawindow would work in the painter preview mode but wouldn't in a window at runtime? PB2017 build 1681.

Best regards,
Konstantin

Hi Konstantin;

   I tested this feature out this morning in PB 2017 R2 build 1769 and it does not work at run-time as you described.

Please open a support ticket for this issue ...

Regards ... Chris

Hi Konstantin,

 

I have tested it as well. It seems that the problem is that it is saving the setting (width.autosize=3) but if you open the DataObject again, it is not respecting the setting in Design View. That's also true for runtime.

 

As a workaround you may set the Autosize property on your code like this: dw_control.Object.controlname.Width.Autosize. You can set that value to an Integer:

  • None(0)
  • Widest Shown(1)
  • Widest On Page(2)
  • Widest Retrieved(3)

 

Also, as Chris mentioned, please open a Support Ticket.

 

Regards,

Hi Chris,



 



Yes, it was the same for me. But I worked around it by adding that piece of code. So, during runtime, it works correctly now.



 



Reproduce Steps:



Change the setting of Width.AutoSize of a column in a Grid DW.







Save the changes.



If you now open the Source Code of the DW (Edit Source), you will see that the setting was saved.







But, if you open the DW again in Design View, the change is not shown. Even though it is there.







So, as a workaround, you may set the setting during runtime.







And the result is good.







 



I will create a knowledgebase article about this. But it would definitely be very good if we had a support ticket.



 



 



Regards,

Hi Konstatin,



As I can remember, this problem exists also in PB 12.6.



After the retrievend event I do a Modify with Width.AutoSize=3 for the used columns, and this works for me.



 



Regards,



Bernhard

Hello Olan,

I don't know how to do this... BTW, there is a comment on the bug I created back then https://www.appeon.com/standardsupport/search/view?id=1235 saying that the workaround does not work in PB2019 R2.
