Hi,

 

It seems that datawindow coumns autosize does not work. (Pb 2019 r3)

I have tried many combinations including the one in the link below.

Autosize Width of Grid DataWindow Columns | Appeon Website

 

Does this feature work at all ?

 

Thanks Steen

I have a code example that does auto width for grid DataWindows:

It also handles sorting and will add a background shadow to the current sort column.

Would you be willing to export the grid DataWindow you are experiencing an issue with, zip the .srd file and attach the zip file in a response so that we can import and inspect the DataWindow?

Hi Steen;

   I just tried this on a few test DWO's of mine and the ASW works great.

I tested this feature using PB 2019R3 build 2728 on W10 version 21H1 build 19043.1237.

Regards ... Chris

I've used it without issue since R3 was out of beta.

Sorry for my late reply.

I almost gave up on this.

I jyst cannot get any autosizing to work and never had been able to. So obviously i'm doing something wrong :-) 

Can anyone provide a dw example where this works ?

Before anyone (like me) tries to make a sample: You marked this as resolved, so ... it wasn't ? Also, did you try Roland's example https://www.topwizprogramming.com/freecode_dwgridxp.html? Didn't it work?

This is how I have done it:

First you modify the column to set Autosize to 0 then modify it again to 3 as this snippit from my method shows:

// '0' = do not autosize
ls_modify = as_colname + ".Width.Autosize = '0'"
ls_value = THIS.Modify(ls_modify)
// '3' = widest value in result set
ls_modify = as_colname + ".Width.Autosize = '3'"
ls_value = THIS.Modify(ls_modify)

 

I have used Roland's method in the past and it works well too.

 

Matt
