Autosize column width to contents

Hello,
I'm using WAD 7 and trying to set up the 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN template to automatically adjust the column width to the contents of the cells. Is there such functionality? I tried using the ColumnWidth mod to set up the default width, but all that does is adjusting all columns to a set width which doesn't look good.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

There is a checkbox in the table inspector to auto-resize to fit content. Unfortunately, that only seems to work with rows, not columns.

How do you autosize column widths in a multicolumn listbox?

I know that it's possible to autosize row height, but I can't find anything relating to autosizing column widths in a multicolumn listbox. This makes what I'm doing difficult, because I want to be able to have dynamic content and won't know beforehand how wide to make the columns. Therefore, I need to do it programatically or find something already built in.
Thanks for your help!

I did an example along the lines of the suggestions above and it works pretty well. I'll attach it here. Note that this only works for 13pt font. If you want to scale this example to include larger font, then you can get that information from the cell height property, which does autoscale by default. The cell height is usually about 2 larger than the font size (i.e. 13pt font = 15 cell height, 24 pt font = 26 height).
This example is written in LV7.0. What would really be cool is if someone would write an XControl for LV8 that would do all this automatically and require no extra block diagram code! If only I had the time...

How to autosize column widths in Mail?

One of the nice features in Windows that I can't seem to find in OS X is the ability to quickly auto adjust the column widths.
In Outlook, you can either double click one column heading divider to adjust that column's width, or double click the furthest (to the right) column heading divider and all of the columns adjust their width for best viewing.
In Mail, I have to drag each of the column dividers to adjust the width.
If I resize the Mail window, I need to adjust them again.
I haven't been able to find an easy way to do this.
Does this feature exist in Mail?

no. you have to adjust the column widths individually by hand.

DataGrid: column width to content

Hi all.
I have some DataGrid, filled from array or from external
source - it's not matter.
Headers of columns can have different length, and I need to
implement columns resizing depends of header length.
I understand, that I must use some custom headerRenderer, but
I am flex newbie and have not used renderers earlier, so my test
was not sucessfull.
I've configired my DataGrid as in the attached code..
and how must I implement my renderer? should I override "set
data function" or some other method?
how can I get header lentgh in pixels?
and then how can I set column width?
Thanks and best regards.

Should I use a Label, or I need another component?
For example, can I use such renderer format?

Autofit column width to table cell content in Pages

Hello,

Fix ALV column width independent of content

Hi All,
I need to fix ALV column width independent of content. If I set the width of column as 10 and when the content is 20 characters long, the column expands to 20. I want the width of column to be fixed irrespective of content. I tried all properties available for ALV column and table but couldn't figure it out. We are on ECC 6.0 ENHP4. Any ideas how to achieve this.
Thanks,
Tom

I believe that I have done this setting fixed layout to true, and then manually setting the column widths in the code.
lo_model->if_salv_wd_table_settings~set_fixed_table_layout( abap_true )
lt_alv_column_table = lo_alv_model->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_columns( ).
LOOP AT lt_alv_column_table INTO ls_alv_one_column.
ls_alv_one_column-r_column->set_width( '90' ).

How can I reduce the column width in a spreadsheet according to the text?

Hi,
I added a spreadsheet to a pages document and now I want to reduce the column width so that it fits the content (text).
I tried it the other way around: I added very small columns and then chose the adjust-automatically-option in informations. This worked, the columns became broader and matched the text.
Now I got a lot of spreadsheets which columns are too broad. When choosing adjust-automatically just nothing happens. What can I do?
Sorry if this sounds a little weird, I'm using English seldom at time and don't know which words to choose to describe my problem properly. Hope someone can help me nevertheless?
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
In Pages, the table Autosize feature pertains to Row Height, not Column Width. Numbers has more Table sizing options than Pages does, so you might want to consider looking into doing your work in Numbers.
In Pages, there are slight differences in how tables behave depending on whether they are Inline or Floating. You might want to experiment with that. Long tables, however, must be Inline.

Let's look at your stylesheet -
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image: url(assets/images/Business%20Men%20In%20Reception%20Col.2.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #003;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
It's a good idea not to use spaces or any punctuation in your filenames when working for the web.
#header {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
#heading {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 36px;
font-style: italic;
font-variant: normal;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
There's no need to specify the default values (font-variant:normal) or to specify auto margins for any block element without an explicitly defined width. And wouldn't it make more sense to put the font style on the body tag, where it will inherit into the rest of the page than to restate it as you have done in the next rule?
#bodytext {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 25px;
font-variant: normal;
width: 300px;
#container {
width: 960px;
position: relative;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
.rightimg {
float: right;
margin-left: auto;
padding-right: 40px;
#heading #navbar ul li {
padding: 30px;
</style>
Margin-left:auto can't work without knowing what the width of the element is.... Keep your CSS lean and targeted - it will help you to debug your layouts.

Column width in finder LIST view

I am using Yosemite. This issue has been driving me mad for years and try as I may I cannot find the solution.
How do you set a default column width in Finder LIST view for all folders? Whatever I do (for example VIEW OPTIONS, USE AS DEFAULTS) does not work.
Can anybody help? I would use third party plugins if I could find something that controls this. Please note: I am using LIST view NOT column view.
Many thanks

Like Jim, I also generally use Icon view for folders containing images, and have the View Option to show item info selected. Column view will also show image dimensions (both of these work, provided the folder has been indexed by Spotlight).
If you want to see the dimensions, but also want to view the folder contents in List view, the best you can do is bring up the Inspector (Command-Option-i), expand the More Info section, then move down the list using the arrow key. The Inspector pane's contents change with each new selected item, and the More Info section includes the dimensions.

How do you change the column widths in a master-detail input form?

I have changed several columns to af:inputText so that the field contents can be modified, but this defaults the column width to a huge size, way past the size of the actual data field itself. Modifying the width attribute is ignored and dragging the column dividers is also ignored.
How do I reduce the widths of these columns?
Thanks

How to import many large graphic images to fit into column width?

I have a 2-column layout and about 150 large graphic images which must be imported so that they fit exactly into the column width. These are bitmaps which have all the same dimensions. All of them will need a border (stroke). And they should be inline graphics because they belong to exact positions in the text flow.
What would be the sensible approach to that (apart from scripting which I have not done yet)? I tried to define an object style which has the attribute "Fit content to frame", but this does not scale the image to the column size. How can I avoid to format 150 those images manually?

It may be easier to change the ppi in photoshop so the image can be placed at the exact size.
so if the image is 10 inches and the file is 300 ppi
with resample image unchecked change the width to whatever you want it say 2 inches no the ppi will automatically change to 1500 ppi. Save. If you are creating a PDF make sure these images are not downsampled if you need the resolution.
another way if all images are the same size would be to size one and place it where all the images go and relink to the other pics, when you relink it should retain the properties of the previous pic.

Dynamic Column width for a report

Will the width property of a column be able to be set at run-time (i.e. ability to set the width of a column to an expression) in SQL Reporting Services 2008? One problem I have seen is the inability to set the width of columns in a report when you you have several columns whose order is determined based on parameters.
Lets say I have 2 columns in a report and two fields from the database which will populate those columns: 1 field that is varchar(5) and one which is varchar(50). If I do not know which column each field will go to until runtime how am I supposed to adjust the column width? Letting the column width be set by an expression would solve everything as I could pass the width in to the report. As it stands now, I would have to set each column's width to accomodate a field of type varchar(50) in order to avoid wrapping of data.
You could say just create 2 reports, one for each case, but what if I had 15 fields? 20?
Has anyone figured out how to dynamically set the width of a column? Will the width of a column be able to be set at run-time in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 via expression or some other means?
Questions, questions, questions.

Ok slight update
RDL xml files are used during deisgn of reports but when you deply they go into the Content column of a table called Catalog:
SELECT [Name],
CAST(CAST([Content] AS VARBINARY(MAX)) AS XML) AS reportXML
FROM [Catalog]
WHERE type = 2
So I think this can be edited programmatically. Widths can be found like this:
        <TableColumns>
          <TableColumn>
            <Width>9cm</Width>
          </TableColumn>
          <TableColumn>
            <Width>3.02646cm</Width>
          </TableColumn>
          <TableColumn>
            <Width>3.25cm</Width>
          </TableColumn>
          <TableColumn>
            <Width>3.5cm</Width>
          </TableColumn>
          <TableColumn>
            <Width>3.5cm</Width>
          </TableColumn>
        </TableColumns>

Apache FOP Problem with column width

We are using Apache FOP to generate simple pdf documents out of reports.
My problem is that the table in the pdf is as standard filled in with columns of same length.
Further on the content of some table fields is to large or sometimes there is to much room.
is there any possiblity to let fop react like html?
The smallest table field size should be like the content. I don't want to adjust all my reports, cause there are really many reports with pdf printing.
anyone an idea how to solve this with FOP?
i have no BI pubisher or other reporting engines for this problem
thx so far

Oliver,
I think what you're looking for is having your column width automatically adjusted based on the content of your column values. That is not possible with the built-in, generic XSL-FO template. What you can do is manually adjusting the column width to appropriate values on the print attributes page.

Marc

How do I get text inside a table column to stretch the whole column width?

Hi I am using JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.0.2.
I have some tables where one of the columns are quite wide (700px) wide and some quite narrow 50px. It doesn´t look pretty. The input text inside the 50px column looks like it stretches out of the column and the inputtext in the 700px column leaves a big empty space in the right side of the column. What I had hoped for is columns which have the same padding to its content as a 100px column no matter the columns width. How do I do that? Do I have to use skinning?

Well I don´t want the space on both sides of the input text to be that big either so that doesn´t solve the problem.

Spark DataGrid with Dynamic Column Width

Lets suppose I have a Spark Datagrid with no explicit typicalItem. When the Datagrid is initialized, the column widths are calcualted correctly based on the contents of the dataprovider. However if I add/remove an item from the dataprovider, or modify the one of the objects in the dataprovider, the column widths never update to reflect the change. Is the the correct behavior for a DataGrid? If so, is there any method I can call to force the DataGrid to recalculate and redraw the column widths?

When Spark DataGrid doesn't have a typicalItem, it uses the first dataProvider item as the typicalItem. If you change that, the DataGrid won't pick it up immediately. You can invalidate the current typicalItem using dataGrid.invalidateTypicalItem().
