Automatically adjust width of colums on Table

If I populate a table from a database, I would like to automatically adjust the width of the respective columns based on the maximum width of the text contained in the respective columns. I see that there is a property to automatically adjust row height but I can't find a way to automatically adjust the width. Since this is based on selected font, how would I determine the pixel width of a string such that I can use the property node of cell width to achieve my objective?

Sorry, I forgot the attachment !

Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on .25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on pt25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

MR,
Apparently the import wasn't a good one.
The best option at this point might be to start a new table. Insert a new Table, Copy the old table cell range, select the first cell in the new table and Edit > Paste and Match Style. This will throw out all the old formatting. A bit of work, but a nice clean start.

Adjusting page numbering in the Table of Contents

I have a question regarding adjusting page numbering in the table of contents. I have manually adjusted my page numbering to start at page 3, which is now called page 1. But my table of contents still show this page as page 3, while I want it to be shown as page 1.
How do I do this?
I tried to find an answer somewhere on this forum, but I couldn't find one. Neither could I find a solution in the help file.
I hope you understand my question. I also included the document, which might be of help. Thank you!

This answer assumes that your document uses the Default page style for physical pages 1-3. You are going to need two different page styles to accomplish what you want. (I'm guessing you have used a page number offset of -2 to get your physical page 3 numbered as 1 and this simply will not work in the TOC.)
Put your cursor in the Title page (physical page 1) and open the Stylist (F11). Click the Page icon (4th from left) then click the New Style From Selection icon (2nd from right). Give it a name like 'Body'. Before you close the Stylist double click on Default just to make sure you did not change the style of the 1st page.
While you are still on the 1st page click into the footer and remove the page number field assuming you do not want it.
Put you cursor in the FIRST (1st) paragraph of the 3rd page and do **Format > Paragraph > Text Flow tab. In the Breaks section, check the Enable box, if not already checked, then check the With Page Style box, select the Body style from the drop down menu and set the page number to 1.
If the page number field is still in the footer on this page then delete it and insert it again. It should now show 1.
Click into the TOC, right click and select Update Index/Table.
Just in case you have trouble translating this to your version of SO I have fixed your document and have attached it.
* *To change to a new page style while writing your document do Insert > Manual Break > Page Break and select the new style. If you want a new page number you can check that box and set the new number.

Adjusting Width of Iview

Hi Experts,
i Am new to portal ,
I m trying to look for the property by which i will be able to adjust width of the ivew but i m unable to find
I m using EP 7.01.
Please suggest,
i m able to see various properties to set height but not the Width...
Please help
Iview is of the type : Sap transaction iview in which i am trying to display a swf file

There is no direct property through which you can control the width of the iView. Best solution would be try closing the navigation panel thus providing more space for the iView. If this also didn't solve the issue, then you can open the iView in a new window.
[iView properties|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/13/81a66d100011d7b84b00047582c9f7/content.htm] available for your reference.

Adjusting width of the sidebar

I have installed Firefox 7.01 but I cannot adjust width of sidebar, the 2-ended arrow comes up as it used to but there is no response. The only think I can do is shut sidebar down and then re-open it.

Try:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Error When Adjust Width in Custom Table Headers "The width key is not valid"

I tried to custom headers for a table of MAC Addresses. I used the following expression and it worked fine.
Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapterconfiguration -Filter "DHCPEnabled=True" | Select-Object @{Expression={$_.DNSHostname};Name="Workstation"},@{Expression={$_.Description};Name="Adapter"}, @{Expression={$_.MACAddress};Name="MAC"}
When I tried to adjust the width of the columns by including that in the Custom Headers I got an error.
Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapterconfiguration -Filter "DHCPEnabled=True" | Select-Object @{Name="Workstation";width=25;Expression={$_.DNSHostname}},@{Name="Adapter";Expression={$_.Description}},@{Name="MAC";Expression={$_.MACAddress}}
Select-Object : The width key is not valid.
At line:1 char:78

You have a couple of useful options:
#1
Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapterconfiguration -Filter 'DHCPEnabled=True' |
Select-Object @{E={$_.DNSHostname};N="Workstation"},
@{E={$_.MACAddress};N="MAC"},
@{E={$_.Description};N="Adapter"} |
Format-Table -Auto
#2
Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapterconfiguration -Filter 'DHCPEnabled=True' |
Format-Table @{N="Workstation";W=25;E={$_.DNSHostname}},
@{N="MAC";W=18;E={$_.MACAddress}},
@{N="Adapter";E={$_.Description}}

How to automatically screw an adjustable resistor by motion?

Hello guys
I am facing to a PCBA problem. There is an adjustable resistor with a small screw on it to adjust. The size of the resistor is 9mmX4mmX8mm, and the diameter of screw on it is about 2mm. This resistor is designed for adjust the sensitivity of the device. In production, I need to adjust it automatically to make the device at a default value.
In my opinion, a step motor is a good choice for this kind of application. The risk here is if the resistor is not solderred accurately, i.e. a little bit lean or shift, it's difficult to handle the screw. I'm hot to look for a better solution on this.
Thanks very much.
*The best Chinese farmer*

Hi paulbin,
as long as the screw is in place, I agree, that a stepper motor (or 2, 3 or 4, depending if you need to position the screwdriver over the screw or if this is done by the guidance of the PCB) should be a good solution for your applilcation.
If there is a chance of significant tilt, things could become very complex:
First you would have to detect the tilt, which could be done by a machine vision system (potentially two cameras required). By the way, a camera might be required anyway to find the initial angle of the slot of the screw. Then you would have to adjust the angle of the screwdriver which might require up to 6 degrees of freedom. So you might end up with a full blown articulated robot here.
On the other hand I could also think of a low cost solution: Maybe you could replace the screwdriver by a kind of a hard rubber tool that could be pressed onto the screw. If this tool has enough friction without pressing the screw too hard, this might be an option.

How to adjust plot names visibility in the legend of a XY-graph automatically

The solution is actually a bit more complex than you may expect, since you have to change both the plot and the plot characteristics. Attached is something that should work, although it is not very optimized and has some momentary, expected, display glitches.
I do not have LabVIEW 2009 on my development computer, so I edited it in LabVIEW 2011 and saved for previous. I don't think I used anything new, so it should work. Let me know if you need more info.

Missing height colum! (Table) CS3 Please help

I am using cs3 presently an am having a strange issue.. when a table selected, the width colum comes at right place but the height column is absent (But it was there in drmweaver 8) i do'nt know if others have same prob too..
i know its a small thing but my working style makes it a big thing for me.. every tym i hav to manualy change height i have to shift to code view and change (I doo most of work in design w only..) any hhelp would b appriciated
as you can see the highlighted portion
pardon me for spell mistakes its now morning in my country and i'v been working allnight long..
Thanks

That option was removed from the current versions of DW because Table height is invalid HTML.
A table should shrink or expand to fit whatever content is inside it :-)
Are you trying to set 100% height on tables - then this may help:

Fixing width of a rtf table having dynamically rendered columns.

Hi All,
We have a rtf table where we are showing/hiding columns conditionally (using 'if@column').
But this is resulting in reduction of table width as well, based on number of columns getting hidden.
Is there any way, so that we can keep the overall width of table fixed, irrespective of its columns shown/hidden dynamically ?
Basically, we want to get same experience as of ADF tables, where we can set a certain column (say last column) to adjust its width (based on other no. of columns shown or hidden), so that overall table width remains fixed.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
I tried to fix the width of a column by putting 20% ,30% ....suggested by you.But it's not reflecting in the report.
is there any other way?
thanks,

How to display fixed width column in Advanced Table?

Hi,
This is probably a newbie question for OAF. My requirement is quite simple but I couldn't find the answer in either the OAF developer's guide or anywhere else so I turn to the experts here. I have a region of type Table or Advanced table with three items in them. One of the Item is of type comments which could be up to 4000 characters.
I wanted to show all three on the first page but only have fixed width for the comments section like only show the first 50 characters for example and then if they want to see more detail they can click on a link to see full comments.
The problem is I cannot figure out how to make the comments item fixed width. I have played with the table width properties but it keeps displaying the comments in multiple lines (I don't want that...). I have also tried putting the Table in a Row Layout but it doesn't seem to help.
Since this is new development I can change my region style to anything to meet my requirements.
I hope this is an easy question and if someone can help me that would be great....:-)

Hi,
Thanks but I was not wanting to change the VO attribute length size since I want to have a link on the first page which would enable to see a user the full 4000 comments using the same VO object. Then if I limit it to 50 characters in the VO, I will not be able to display the full comments on the second page.
Isn't there some way in the UI that I can limit it? I know one workaround I can use for now is to have another column in the VO with the 50 character value such as substr(comments, 1, 50) and then have the full comments selected also in the VO and then show this subtr value in the first page and the comments value in the 2nd. I just thought there would be an easier way about it then doing all this workaround.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Fixed width row for lines table

Hi,
I have a header and details tables in my template. The problem is that if there is more data for any of the column in lines, the row expands and hence the gap between footer and lines table is disturbed. Because of this reason I am unable to fix number of rows per page for lines. Any guidelines on this will help.
Thanks in advance,
Suresh
P.S. I am a newbie in XML

Hi,
Just to confirm this, you are having problems with the height of your table, ie it is expanding vertically down the page, as opposed to the width, expanding horizontally across the page.
You can fix the height of the table, by selecting the repeating row of the table and going to Table Properties, on the Row tab check the Specify Height box. You can then enter a height for this row. The drop down menu to the right means you specify whether the row should be At Least the specified height, or exactly the specified height.
You may need to look at nested tables here, but specifying the height of the rows should give you a reasonable starting point.

Need custom column widths in Append Text Table to Report

I need to print reports with tables of different column widths specified for each column, as the contained fields vary in width from just 3 characters in one column to 40 characters in another. Also we are trying to match the reports generated by a non-labview routine. In the past I have been able to achieve this by editing the Append Table to Report vi, working my way through the inner hierarchy to replace the DBL numeric COLUMN WIDTH control with a DBL numeric array. The innermost vi, Set Table Column Width, assigns the numeric to a property node in a for loop, so the change is simple: replace the scalor with an array and enable indexing on the for loop. Of course, after each Labview upgrade, I've had to go back in and repeat these edits on the overwritten upgraded vi's. This time there is a problem. The new version of this toolkit is object oriented, and disturbing these vi's wrecks the class methods in a way I don't understand (mostly because I've had no dealings with object oriented programming) and which cannot be undone. I recently tried this and after not being able to fix the problem even with phone support, I had to spend the next two days unistalling and reinstalling Labview! I desperately need a way to achieve this functionality without killing the toolkit, which is used (in its original functionality) by another absolutely critical program. PLEASE HELP!
The hierarchy is as follows:
NI report.lvclass:Append Table to Report (wrap)
NI report.lvclass:Append Table to Report
NI Standard report.lvclass:Append Text Table to Report
NI Standard report.lvclass:tables
NI Report Generation Core.lvlibet Table Column Width

There is a highly relevant thread under discussion here:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=features&thread.id=429
You may wish to read it and chime in as it is a discussion of LabVIEW's policy (and possible change in policy for the future) concerning the handling of non-palette VIs between LV versions.

I doubt that it is a simple fix -- our AEs are generally top notch at figuring out solutions for customers -- if it were simple, my bet is they'd have solved it. Asking an AE to work around a bug is different from asking them to rearchitect the toolkit. You are asking them to add a feature that the new version of the toolkit is not
designed to support. The difficulty in doing this is completely independent of the decision to use LabVIEW classes to implement the toolkit. If any piece of software is not designed with a particular use case in mind, what may be a simple tweak under one design may become a very hard problem under another design.
In your case, the solution is very straightforward: Use the older version of the toolkit. Any time you create a custom modification of the VIs that ship with LV or one of its toolkits, you should make your own copy and have your VIs link against the copy. LabVIEW promises to maintain all the public functionality version over version. Usually we succeed at that. What we do not promise is to maintain our private implementation of that functionality. It is impossible for LabVIEW (or any other software library) to maintain all of its private internal operations while still continuing any development. Using a copy of the original VIs shields you from having to recode your changes every version (something you've already mentioned is a chore) and it guarantees that functionality that you relie upon does not disappear.
I hope you are willing to be understanding of this situation and not hold it against the AEs working on this. They try hard to provide excellent customer service, and spend lots of time inventing custom solutions for our users. This happens to be a situation where the correct fix is not to modify the new toolkit version to do something it wasn't designed to do but to modify your development process so that the problem is solved now and into the future.
