Change the column width on the fly

Dear all,
I have a problem, i have a matrix report, the row is "the project name" and the column is "the items" using within each project, and the problem is the items are variable from time to time the report run for each project, so its exceeds the paper width.
And the question is, is there any way to change the width of the column on the fly, i mean dynamiclly change the column width each time the report is called to make all items fit the paper width.
Thank u

i don't think that we can change the layout of the column in reports
The simple solution for that problem is that u have to
fix the horizontal and vertical layout of the text item
better is to post this problem at reports forum

How to set the column width in the PDF exports of interactive reports ?

Hello,
I have a huge problem with the PDF export for the Interactive reports. I'm using APEX 3.2.
I have to produce a PDF report in landscape format that show 21 columns. My problem is that the columns have a ridiculous short width and that the text inside the columns do not wrap in the columns. So I get things like that :
Date Name
2011 Leina
I should see 2011-08-01 and the name Leinad Jan
I tried several things to format the columns, but none of the them has any effect on the PDF itself.
1) I used HTML code in the report query. It works well with the interactive report, but display the HTML tags in the PDF.
2) I used css to set the width of my columns. It works in the interactive report, but not in the PDF, the column width do not change.
It's like the report do not notice that my page format is Legal 14 x 8.5 (Landscape) and still believe it's 8.5 x 11 (which is "portrait")
Do you have any idea so set the columkn widths in the reports ?
Thank you !

To "remember" the column widths, add a mouse listener to the table header. Upon mouseReleased(), get the column widths and save them to your file. When the application starts next time, get the stored widths and set them using:
table.getColumn("XXX").setPreferredWidth(...);
By default, your columns are adjustable, but you can use:
table.getTableHeader().setResizingAllowed(true);

How to change the column width in Smartforms..?

Hi All..
I need to change the column width in a smartform.
The requirement has been mentioned as follows...
Adjust the column width of the following columns:
MATERIAL: 14 char
DESCRIPTION: 20 char
How to perform this..??
Where can i find the column width of various columns of a smartform..???
Please Help me...
Regards
Pavan

In the SMART Forms, you would have created a Table object and specified the line width and divided that into no. of columns that you want, you have to mandatorily specify the width of each column so that total of column width will be equal to that of the line width.
When you double click on the Table object, you can TABLE tab on the right side. If you can't see the line / columns details, click on the DETAILS button.

In Sales Order changing the column width to see all item desciption?

When in the sales order screen .
Expand the column width of say the item description.
How do I save the column width for all the sales documents for the field item description in sales order ?

Hi,
The column width of the Document will be defaulted to the same size at which the user has saved the last document.
So, if a user has saved the Sales Order with a big column width for the 'Item Description' then after saving and re-entering into the Sales Order, the user can see the same column width for all the Sales Order's.
I hope the above helps.
Cheers~

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

Hi,
maybe this blog entry "Referencing Maximum Length of an Attribute in an EL Expression" by Steve Muench helps

We can change the column width of a column dynamically. Try the javascript code in the appropriate event.
Table.columnWidths = "2in 3in 4in 5in";

Change column width in the run time

Hi, everyone:
I have a form with a master and a detail block. The detail block has a tabular layout. I want the user of the form being able to ajust the width of the particular column(s) in the run time by, e.g. dragging the border of the column(s) to the left or to the right. I've seen the examples of these forms, but want to know how easy would it be to implement that.
Thanks a lot.
Eugene.

I want to adjust the column width of "From", "Subject" and "Date". in the AT&T email within Firefox browser

My computer runs under Windows Vista Home Premium, and Firefox browser 3.6.13. Within the Firefox browser, it shows an AT&T email window (www.sbc.yahoo.com). There are several columns such as subject, date, etc. I was able to adjust such column width before. Now I cannot do it. (Also I can adjust column width if I run in the Internet Explorer. I have another computer running Window 7 professional, same set up with Fire Fox and AT&T email, I am able to adjust the column width so I can show the full subject line.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
You can also try to set the pref layout.frames.force_resizability to true on the about:config page.

How can i Auto Size the Column width in RDLC Report

Hi Friend's,
I have created Windows application with RDLC Report. I am binding(Generating) dynamic columns and data's in RDLC Report Using Matrix control, I need to make Auto size of Column width for each Column in
Matrix of RDLC report. So Can any one suggest me to make the Auto Size of Column Width in RDLC.
Thanks in Advance,
Mohan G

Hi Mohan,
In Reporting Services, the column width/height is hard-coded, hence, we cannot set the column width/height dynamically or based on an expression. So is the report size.
In addition, since it is a RDLC report, we need a ReportViewer control to display this report within a custom application. If you need to change the size of the whole report, we can set the AsyncRendering property of the ReportViewer control to false, and
set the SizeToReportContent property to true.

How to extract the column width in ALv report if its executed in background

I am executing an ALV report in background , in front end i am getting data properly, in back end for some columns some of the digits are missing.For example if PO no is of 10 digits it will display only 8 becos column size is like that , how to extract coulmns in back ground.
I have executed in background and checked the spool and for some of the columns width is not sufficient to display comeplete data so please suggest how to extract the columns sizes if executed inj background for an ALV

Hi Deepthi,
you can try with the above mentioned suggestions ,if its worked its fine ,
If not use Docking container instead of custom container, For ALV in back ground jobs, its suggest to use docking container instead of custom container , below you can find the declaration for docking container and code to use docking and custom container in your program for fore and back ground.
or you can use docking container alone for both operations.
Data : G_DOCK1 TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER,
IF CCON IS INITIAL. (ccon is container name )
*Check whether the program is run in batch or foreground
    IF CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>OFFLINE( ) IS INITIAL.
*Run in foreground
      CREATE OBJECT CCON
        EXPORTING
          CONTAINER_NAME = 'CON1'.
    CREATE OBJECT GRID1
        EXPORTING
          I_PARENT = parent_1.
ELSE.
*Run in background
      CREATE OBJECT GRID1
        EXPORTING
          I_PARENT = G_DOCK1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.

How to optimize the column width in Table Control

Hi all,
When I am displaying fields in Table Control, the columns are displayed in full length, and I am unable to see all the fields at once.
So as in grid , where we optimize the column width using layout, do we had any property for TC to do so.
thanks for your help.
Points would be awarded .
Regards,
Anil .

Hi,
In Se51, you can do this one, ust open your table control and resize the TC, there is no direct option to do this for entire TC, you need to do this field by field, and arrage the TC to adjust in a Single screen. In the field parameters, you have the field lenghts, there you can minimize the length of a field
