Can't change column width

Hi
I'm working on an existing site (and learning as I go). I was
just trying to get some boxes to line up in the navigation bar and
pulled it too wide to see if my adjustements were appearing in the
browser. Now I can't change it back to the proper size. I've tried
changing it in the HTML, the properties, the CSS, by manually
pulling on the box handle (it lets me go wider, but not narrower)
and it always reverts back to the wide size.
You can see from the screen shot that the proper width is
showing, but the actual column width is in parenthesis. This is the
width that I can't seem to get rid of. OK, never mind about the
screen shot - I can't post one here, crap.
This is what the column width looks like 147 (196). I cannot
get rid of the 196 and when I pull the image narrower, all my code
bounces back to 196 even though I've changed it to 147.
I've attached the code, but I don't see what anyone can do -
code says 147 - column width remains 196. Please help me change it!
Also, I just saw the posting that appeared right before me on
the same topic. My site is not live yet so I'm sorry that you can't
look directly at the source - the old site is www.breadandlife.org
if that helps - at least it's showing the correct navbar width.
And padding is not the problem, already looked at that.
Just looked at the existing site in Dreamweaver and the
navbar is also stretching out to 196! Did I do something to change
defaults in the navbar that is applying to all files I open? I'm
going to close it and make sure I don't save it...
I hope this will be a quick and easy answer for someone...

can you try edit view--> view properties --> Text and Align tab--> select field you want to change --> check width and give number of pixels.
HTH,
Suma

The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.

The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.
All was normal until the icon for the disk stopped showing up on the desktop when I would plug it in. I rebooted the computer, and the disk icon now shows up but this new look to the finder window started as a result. The hard disk does not have this problem when I use it on another Mac running Snow leopard. Also, two other external hard disks that I use on this computer running lion 7.4 still have the normal header bars with columns that can be reordered, etc.
I have tried looking in preferences and other places but have not seen this discussed.

Well duh - I finally figured out that somehow in the View options for the hard drive, the "arrange by" option had been changed to "by date" from "none". Not sure how that happened, I had never used the "view options" menu tem before. Changing "arrange by" back to "none" gets the gray column headers and the collapsible folder icons back.

How can i change the width of a webapp depending on the view?

In Dashcode how can i change the width of the web app depending on the width of the view. I am using the stack layout.
For example if view 1 had a width of 400 px
the web app would have a width of 400 px
if i changed to a view with a 400 px
the webap would change to have a width of 400 px
it automatically adapts the the hight of a view how do i do the same with the width.

While they may auto adjust to what it thinks is a correct width, far too often it allocates way too much room and that causes lists with 4 columns to be much longer than they need to be and without the ability to adjust them, lists look strange.
http://twitpic.com/23ro09/full is an example of the first column having been allocated too much room.

[kde - Homerun kicker] How change columns width

I found a new Kde launcher a few months ago, I find great (of course this is only my opinion).
It is the smaller version (not full screen) Homerun , which is available in Aur at the following address : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kdep … s-homerun/ , which can be seen in the following link : http://blogs.kde.org/2014/01/29/homerun-120 , although the current version is slightly advanced.
This launcher version not full screen, works like Lancelot , but is more simply and more faster.
Moreover, it displays the recently used applications and the recently used documents .
However, I have a slight regret about this launcher : the column width is fixed and can not be changed.
Does anyone know how to change the columns width ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

@Julie – you can change column width by alt + shift + dragging left or right cell sides without changing the overall size of the table.

ALV List - Field Catalog - Change Column width

Hi Friends,
I am using Alv list to display the output of a report program. I have generated the field catalog using REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE function and to display the alv REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY.
My Internal table has few fields like "text1 type string". So after generating the Fieldcatalog from internal table i have changed the field description, but i don't know how to change the column output display width. I have tried by changing OUTPUTLEN parameter to 50 but in the output it is taking only 10 characters instead of 50 characters.
How can i change the field length(FOR STRING TYPE) for output display ??
Which parameter do i need to change in field catalog for String type fields..
Regards,
Raju.

Hi narayana,
1. the STRING type is causing the problem.
2. what u can do is,
(i suppose u are modifying the alv field catalogue)
   One workaround is :
   and it works fantastic !
3. BOLD is important.
    (this will take care of the length)
LOOP AT alvfc INTO alvwa.
IF alvwa-fieldname = 'A'.
    alvwa-outputlen = '100'.
<b>    alvwa-inttype = 'CHAR'.</b>
    MODIFY alvfc FROM alvwa.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
4. To get a TASTE of what i m saying,
   just copy paste in new program :
REPORT abc.
TYPE-POOLS : slis.
Data
DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
       a TYPE string.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE t001.
DATA : END OF itab.
DATA : alvfc TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv.
DATA : alvwa TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv.
Select
SELECT * FROM t001 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab.
LOOP AT itab.
itab-a = 'pppppppppppppppppppppp'.
MODIFY itab.
ENDLOOP.
*------- Field Catalogue
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'

    i_program_name         = sy-repid

    ct_fieldcat            = alvfc

    MODIFY alvfc FROM alvwa.
ENDIF.

ALV Cannot change Column Width in Field Catalog

Hi,
I have an ALV report where I want to specifically set the field widths of the columns because some of the standard domain lengths are very large (e.g. 255 chars).
I am building the field catalog like this:
CLEAR gs_fieldcat.
gs_fieldcat-col_pos      = 1.
gs_fieldcat-fieldname    = 'NAME_ORG1'.
gs_fieldcat-scrtext_m    = 'Employer Name'.
gs_fieldcat-dd_outlen = 40.
APPEND gs_fieldcat TO gt_fieldcat.
then calling the ALV like this:
CALL METHOD go_alv->set_table_for_first_display
    CHANGING
      it_outtab                     = gt_evm_pm_data
      it_fieldcatalog               = gt_fieldcat .
gt_fieldcat is based on structure LVC_S_FCAT.
However, this has no effect on the column widths.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards
David

Hi,
please try with that.
It will surely work.
gs_fieldcat-outputlen = '25'.
In quotation u can use any length whateveer u wish to display
Thanks

How do you keep Finder from changing column widths?

I don't know if this bugs anyone else, but I absolutely HATE it that Finder automatically adjusts the column widths. It jerks content around and makes it where it drives you nuts. You think you can see two columns, until you click on an entry and suddenly it jerks the width out of proportion to where you can see either column.
This isn't a matter of it adjusting to the widest file name length either, because it seems to "remember" that there used to be a long file name there. If you change the length, it STILL makes it very wide.
I've long said that Finder is perhaps the absolutely WORST daily app that Apple has. Nobody addresses it and nobody seems to want to make it better. Are there any alternatives to this piece of crap? Or is there some hidden way that you can tell Finder to QUIT adjusting column size?
Thanks!

I've come across the same problem in Mavericks (v 10.9). Oddly enought, I didn't notice that problem with Mountain Lion (10.8.5). I'm wondering if this is caused by a corrupted Library file. I've contacted Apple Tech Support and spoke with two (2) support agents, one with an advanced title for almost an hour. Unfortunately, the advanced Tech Support agent could only acknowledge the problem, had no solutions and suggested I contact Applev via Support feedback.
If you've upgraded to Mavericks, have you noticed the same problem?
Any insight or assistance would be appreciated.

How can I modify column width in a spreadsheet report without using an Excel template

I currently use the LabVIEW Report Generation toolkit in LabVIEW 2011SP1 to create simple spreadsheet reports that I can build/print without having Microsoft Office products installed. I really like being able to do this, and it allows me to generate nice on-demand data reports - I'm also not tied to having Office installed on the system I'm using, so this works on just about any test fixture I can install the software on.
I recently have a requirement that I must have variable-length columns in my report. I currently use the VI "Append Text Table to Report" in order to create a text table, but the column width requirement is that all columns must be equal width UNLESS I use an Excel Template file to define my column widths.
My questions are:
Is it possible to create a text table and define per-column widths without using an Excel Template? If so, how? My report mainly has a lot of small numerical values for the columns, but some columns contain system names or status messages - I really hate the longer text blocks wrapping and taking up so much real-estate when if I could control the column widths I can get all my data on a single line.
I'll admit I haven't tried this myself yet, but if I use an Excel Template will that require me to have Excel installed on the PC in order to print/generate reports?
Is there a recommended way (with an example) of generating a text table in a report with or without using the "Append Text Table to Report" VI that allows me to have custom column widths that doesn't require me to manually build a custom print page? If I do have to create a custom print page, what would be the most straightforward approach?
Thanks!
-Danny

Sure, I'll provide a pared down example that demonstrates my use-case:
I have a control to the VI that takes in a 2D array of strings representing the data I want printed in a table. I am generating a standard report, adding a table to the report, and printing it. The first VI is "New Report.vi", the second VI is "Append Table to Report.vi", and the third is "Print Report.vi", all found standard in the Report Generation palette.
Note that the "Append Table to Report.vi" has an input parameter "Column Width" with a default value of (1). This input parameter is a single input parameter, which defines the column widths of ALL the columns in my table - hence, with the VI the way it is, all my columns will be 1 inch wide.
I find myself needing to be able to define per-column widths, not just a single global column width parameter.
The only way I have found to do this is by using an Excel template file. The "New Report.vi" takes in a "template" parameter, and if used, the report generation toolkit can be set to ignore the "Column Width" input parameter on the "Append Table to Report.vi" by setting the width value to -1. Instead it will launch Excel, open the template file provided, build the table using the template, will close Excel, and will attach the generated table to the report. However, I have a strict requirement that Microsoft Office NOT be required to be installed on the computer.
So, without using Excel, is there a way to generate a table in a report and define the width of each column individually?
