How to change the width of the field?

Hi all,
I would like to decrease the width of a field on my report.
But I can't do it in the Property palette. I am not able to change the width property. The width of the database column is varchar2(255). I do not want to decrease the length of the database column, but only the width property of the field.
Any ideas?
Regards
Leonid Pavlov

You can't change that from where you are trying because that info is coming from the database. To resize the field just open the layout editor and size the field to the size you want.
Thanks,
Tom

As far as I knows, you can only increase the width of a
character column. If you wish to decrease it, I would think
you'd have to drop/delete the whole column and recreate it,
loosing all your data in the process (unless you create a
temporary table into which you copy the data first, and then
copy it back into the "new" column - the oracle db will truncate
the data automatically).
SQL Plus is very well suited for the task, but requires you to
write the appropriate SQL statements yourself. Other tools may
simplify this for you (I use SQL Plus myself).
Hope this helps.

Change the width of a field using XML

Hi,
I customize a report -set the width of a field- using XML but my
data is truncated.
Is it posible to set vertical elasticity for this field using
XML?
My XML file is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<report name="Rep" DTDVersion="1.0">
<layout>
<section name="main">
<field name="F_1" source="CP_FIELD" textColor="red" width="0.5"/>
<field name="F_2" source="CP_FIELD" width="0.5"
alignment="center"/>
<field name="F_3" source="CP_FIELD" width="1"/>
</section>
</layout>
</report>
I will appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you

You can change the size of the label, the text input box, and the field itself (border around the field in the design tab) - however there is one exception to being able to control the size of every field individually:
Fields that have "Labels left" or "Labels right" that are also the first field in a row will all share the same label width.
This is probably what you are encountering, this is how the fields work for now, those first in a row label left/right labels are all the same width.
Thanks,
Josh

How to change the width of the whole portlet layout?

Dear all,
As we know, now the width of portlet layout has set to 100%. But there is a new requirment from my customer that the width of the whole portlet layout view must be set to 750px.
So I tried to edit the css file and I found a block:
#pt-portal-content-view
     margin-top: 0px;
     width: 100%;
I tried to change the width to 750px, but nothing happened.
I want to know the way to change the width, thank you all!
Regards,
finall
OK,I have found the place to do it:
.portalContent          {
     display: block;
     width: 750px;
I set to 750px,then it works.:-)
But another question, how to make the content align to the center? I tried a stupid method, add margin-left:
.portalContent          {
     display: block;
     width: 750px;
     margin-left: 120px;
In 1024 X 768, it's ok, but it don't work well in 800 X 600.
When I set the all content width to 750px, I tried the three columns view, the portlet still run over the border.If there is any way to control this? thank u in advance!

finall

Try this:
.portalContent {
display: block;
width: 750px;
margin: auto; /* for properly-implemented browsers */
text-align: center; /* for IE 6 */
As for running over the 750px, there's nothing you can do about that other than actually narrowing the columns AND making sure that your portlet authors don't produce content that's too wide.

How do I change the width of the x-scrollbar for a waveform graph?

I have a LV7.1 application that contains a waveform graph and must be usable on several PC with widely varying screen resolutions. I have decided to position and scale the front panel objects programatically, including the graph itself. The appearance of the graph is satisfactory on all screens, except for the x-scrollbar. The width of the x-scrollbar does not change when I change the size of the graph. I cannot figure out how to change the width of the scrollbar programatically to match the adjusted size of the graph. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Chris

Chris,
I don't think that you can change the width of the x axis scroll bar programatically. One thing you could do though is create your own scrollbar and change it's properties as your program runs. I wrote a quick example of how you could do this and I've attached it to this thread.
I hope this helps,

How to change the width of the bar of bar charts?

Hi,
I am using Crystal Reports 11.
I created some stacked bar charts. Now, I want to change the width of the bar. Some one told me that I can't do that because it's totally controlled internally by Crystal Reports.
Really?
If could, how could I do?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
The only way you can set the width of the bar is by going to Chart Options (Right-click Chart in Preview Mode > Chart Options > Appearance tab > Decrease the Gap Width).
Hope this helps!

How to change the width of the auto complete drop down list?

Hi,
I implemented an autocomplete mechanism, using ICompletionSession and ICompletionSourceProvider. I have an issue with the size of the drop-down list opened when I use this autocomplete mechanism. The width of the autocomplete list remains the same, even
if the strings displayed change. This is apparent especially when I hit "backspace" on the already typed string, while the drop down list is opened: the deletion of the last character allows for more completion strings to be used, but since the drop
down width does not change, the longer strings appear cut.
Is there a way to force the drop down list to recalculate its width?

I don't think there's any way, even VS itself can't do that you know, and the interfaces don't have such kind of events or properties.

How can i fix the tab overlapping when i change the width of the url bar with #urlbar-container [focused]?

I want to create for myself the most minimalistic browser experience as possible and i've put the most used features in the title bar. For purposes of space i had to fix the width of the url bar to a minimum and my intention is to increase it to a fixed width only when #urlbar-container [focused]. The problem is that #urlbar-container will overlap the existing tabs instead of shrinking their space, making it look really bad. It looks wonderful with #urlbar-container:hover, but i can't use that since whenever i want to refresh the wesbite using the button the width of the container will increase moving the button from the place i had the mouse in the first place to click it.
Fixed width of the url bar when #urlbar-container is not focused:

#urlbar-container {min-width:225px!important;}
#urlbar-container {transition:0.7s!important;}
#urlbar-container [focused] {max-width:500px!important;}
#urlbar-container [focused] {min-width:500px!important;}
#urlbar-container {transition:0.7s!important;}
#urlbar {border-top-right-radius:10px!important}
#urlbar {border-bottom-right-radius:10px!important}</nowiki></pre>

What method (code) did you use to get the Tab bar displaying in the space used for the Navigation Toolbar (location bar)?
The Tab bar should be displayed above the Navigation Toolbar.

How to increase the width of the Crystal Report

Hello All
How to increase the width of the Crystal report template in the CR designer in .NET 2005 editor ?
I need to design a report which has to accomodate more number of columns.So achieve that i need to redesign the report having more width.
CrystalReports version 10.2.3600.0
Thanks in advance
Srivatsa

HI Srivatsa,
You can make a wider report by creating virtual pages. Virtual pages are the extra pages to the right of the main page that get created to accommodate cross-tabs that are wider than a single page. By inserting a cross-tab in a report then suppressing it, you can create a report that is multiple pages wide.
Insert and Suppress a Cross-Tab
1. On the 'Insert' menu, click 'Cross-Tab'.
2. In the Cross-Tab Expert, click any field and move it into the 'Columns' box, and click any field and move it into the 'Summarized Fields' box. Do not move any fields into the 'Rows' box.
3. Click the 'Customize Style' tab and select the following check boxes:
" Suppress Empty Rows
" Suppress Empty Columns
" Suppress Row Grand Totals
" Suppress Column Grand Totals
4. Click the 'OK' button and then insert the cross-tab into the Report Header section.
5. On the 'Report' menu, click 'Format Sections'. Click 'Report Header' and select the 'Underlay Following Sections' check box.
When you run the report you will not see the cross-tab, but you will be able to scroll to the right and see multiple virtual pages.
====================
NOTES:
" As there are no rows to the Cross-Tab, it does not carry on to Page 2 and the virtual pages do not appear past the first page.
" To increase or decrease the number of virtual pages do one of the following:
- Limit the number of records for the field in the 'Column' box of the 'Cross-Tab Expert' using the 'Select Expert'.
- Change the width of the 'Column' field in the Cross-Tab by moving the edges of the field.
====================
How to Insert Fields on Virtual Pages
You cannot drag-and-drop a field onto a virtual page, you can only do so on the main page. To get a field to appear on a virtual page:
1. Insert the field on the main page.
2. Click the 'Preview' tab.
3. Drag the right edge of the field to the right, onto the virtual page.
4. Drag the left edge of the field to the right, onto the virtual page.
Hope this helps!!

How can we configure the width of the table in SAP DB

Hello sirs,
How can we configure the width of the table in SAP DB? (<b>i.e to specify the total width of the sum of all columns</b>). I need to change the default value of table width for adding fields with biggger sizes...
With best regards,
Sudheesh....

Hi,
The restrictions for using SAPDB are available at the following link http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/f6/069940ccd42a54e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
The 'internal length of the table' is 8088 bytes, which intern maps to the column width attribute.
Can we change the column width?
The answer is 'NO'.
check the general Column width error (-1115) at link below where it is specified that the column width can be altered http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/bb/57f18204fd11d2a96c00a0c9449261/content.htm
Refer link below for more details on the width of each column (based on the datatype associated with the column). http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/mysql/manual_Column_types.html
So we will have to judiciously look into the boundary values for each column and set the right length because if the column is char(200) and it holds a null value then length allocated is 200 bytes.
The restriction cannot be broken.
Regards,
S.Divakar
