Column width in output table cannot be changed

Hi All,
I have a visual composer model with an input form used to display variables to call a BW query. The query result is displayed in an output table.
Multiple fields are displayed in the output table.
On the layout tab of the visual composer model, I have changed the column width of the different output fields.
After initial execution, the column widths of the different columns correspond to the settings in the layout tab. When I submit the query, example after entering the selection variables in the input screen and pressing submit, all columns widths change to 1 width. All columns now have the same width.
We installed the latest VC version and hotpackages but this does not help.
How can I change the column width of an output table?
Best Regards,
Filip

Hi All,
this column problem I know really good and there is a solution:
Click on the Output-Port of your Query and then click on Configure. You will see on the right side the property "Dynamic Port". Uncheck that and you will see that the column width is like in the layout tab.
This is only in Queries. In Function Modules you dont have to do this.

How to set initial column widths for a table

What I'd like to do is to control the initial column widths for a table.
I'm building the table by using a class which extends AbstractTableModel. This class takes care of setting the headers and reading the data for the table.
If I do the following:
VarTableModel vtm = new VarTableModel(vi);
JTable jt = new JTable(vtm);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jt);
frame.getContentPane().add(jsp);
frame.setVisible(true);
I will see a table in my window. The widths of the columns are equal and are a function of the horizontal dimension of the window.
I have tried to set the width of a column by doing the following:
TableColumn aColumn;
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(0));
aColumn.setWidth(40);
But this has no effect on what gets displayed. I can force the widths that I want by using 'setMaxWidth' but this has the unfortunate side effect of not allowing the user to make the column wider if they want.
What I'd like is a way to specify the widths of the columns when initially displayed and then let the user adjust to their liking.
I'm sure that there is a way to do this, but I don't seem to understand where to intervene in the process to produce the effect that I want.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
add this line and try ur codeThanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do the trick. Here is an abbreviated segment of my code:
vtm = new VarTableModel(vi);
JTable jt = new JTable(vtm);
// we want a horizontal scrollbar, so turn resizing off
// and we want to control column widths
jt.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(0));
aColumn.setWidth(40);
. // same kind of thing for each column
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(4));
aColumn.setWidth(400);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jt);
frame.getContentPane().add(jsp);
frame.setVisible(true);
If I do the above, the table gets displayed with each of the five columns the exact same width. So, the sizing of the columns is happening somewhere else despite turning auto resizing off.
Where is that occurring and how can I intervene so that I can control the widths of the columns on initial display and still allow the user to adjust the widths if they so choose?

Can i change the column width in a table row dynamically

Hi,
There are two columns in one of the row of the table, can i change the width of the cells dynamically.
Sometimes one of them will be blank and the other cell has to print the entire string .
Left cell is left aligned and the right cell is right aligned.
I tried to change the width using field.W but it didnot work.
Regards,
Sobhan

Hi,
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 for print table to report

Hi, want to make the first column in my table to be printed to report wider than the rest, for it contains the part numbers of about 16 chars and the other columns are the data of 4 each. Don't want to make all equally wide for I want to fit as many column as possible over the page. How can I do this?? Thanks for any help. Is there maybe another way to print in a table format?? Madri

Hi Madri,
Assuming you are using the Standard Report type with the Report Generation VIs, you can check out this KnowledgeBase entry that discusses how to customize the VI to generate a report with different column widths:

How do I set column width for a table?

I want to set the same width for all the columns in a particular table. Is there anyway of doing this without having to actually manually adjust each individual column?
Thanks

Select the column headers and drag across (A,B,C for example) then select between one of the columns (your pointer will change shape). Select and drag to the new width. All selected columns will change.

How to hide columns in the output table in webdynpro based on input

Hi Experts,
   I have 2 inputs and 1 input is optional.If both inputs are given proper table output is displayed,but if only 1 input is given a column is empty in the output table so i want to hide this column dynamically at runtime based on my inputs.And i want to hide some empty rows also at runtime based on inputs.
Can anyone help me out to solve this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anita.

Hi Anitha,
What i understood from your question is,you want to control the table from your inputs.I have a one question for you what do you want to show defaultly i.e when you run the application what you want to show,either no table or table with some values.
Any how i am giving solution in this way.
If both inputs are given proper table output is displayed
Write your below logic in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW )
Here i am assuming that you already have a table element in the view.
Get the values entered in the input fields and compare those 2 values ,if the condition is satisfied then bind the values which you want to show in the table to the context node.
but if only 1 input is given a column is empty in the output table so i want to hide this column dynamically at runtime based on my inputs
You are telling that you know the empty column.If so get the view element reference and use the REMOVE_COLUMN to remove the column.
data:lr_table type ref to cl_wd_table,
       lr_column type ref to L_WD_TABLE_COLUMN.
lr_table ?= view->get_element( 'TABLE1' ).
CALL METHOD LR_TABLE->REMOVE_COLUMN
    EXPORTING
      ID          = 'TABLE1_color'
     INDEX      =
    RECEIVING
      THE_COLUMN = lr_column.
i want to hide some empty rows also at runtime based on inputs.
Removing the rows is very simple.if you know the key fields data of internal table from your input fields then do in this way.
delete itab from wa where key1= "12" and key2="abd".
Now bind the internal table to context node.
LO_ND_hcm->BIND_TABLE(
      NEW_ITEMS            = it_final
      SET_INITIAL_ELEMENTS = ABAP_TRUE ).

Resizing Column Width in Pivot Tables

Hi,
Can anyone help with adjusting the size of columns in a pivot table. I have 3 measure across 12 months on a page:
Total Volume Total Margin (%) Total Contribution
Market Jan 2010 Feb 2010 Mar 2010 Apr 2010 May 2010 Jun 2010 Jul 2010 Jan 2010 Feb 2010 Mar 2010 Apr 2010 May 2010 Jun 2010 Jul 2010 Jan 2010 Feb 2010 Mar 2010 Apr 2010 May 2010 Jun 2010 Jul 2010
The months on some measures are rolling up and the others are on one line, can the width of the column be wrapped or adjusted?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes,it can be.Click on a column and Go to Format Values>Additional Formatting Options>width.Try putting 50%,60% if you want them to expand.
Similiarly Format heading will work for heading size.
You have to play around with this to suit your requirements.
Thanks

Visual Composer 7.2 SP3 - Adjust column widths of ALV tables by end user

Hello,
we're using ALV tables with values coming out of function modules and queries.
Unfortunately I can't see an opportunity to adjust column widths at runtime by the end user. This is in contrast to VC 7.0 using flex.
Is there a way to archieve this?
Kind regards
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
This is a feature of Webdynpro Flex runtime. You can adjust column widths at Flex runtime in 720 SP3 also.
This is not supported by Webdynpro HTML runtime.

How to fix the column width in a table in htmlb tableview control

HI Experts,
I have an issue with my htmlb table view controller. I have created a custom iView with a htmlb table view control and placed it in quick navigation window.
When data in columns exceeds, I am getting horizontal scroll bar and column,table are getting extened. I don't want column size increases when text length increses. Instead when lenght of the text incrases in a column, I want the text displyed in multiple columns.
I have tried for this as below.
<hbj:tableView
    id="statTable"
    model="bean.stattableModel"
    design="ALTERNATING"
    headerVisible="false"
    footerVisible="false"
    fillUpEmptyRows="false"
    navigationMode="BYPAGE"
    selectionMode="NONE"
    headerText="Report List"
    visibleFirstRow="1"
    visibleRowCount="10"
width="100%">
<%
     stattableModel.getColumn("D").setWidth("5px");
     stattableModel.getColumn("D").setWrapping(false);//tried true aswell
     stattableModel.getColumn("H").setWidth("px");
     stattableModel.getColumn("H").setWrapping(false);
%>
No change happen ever after I used the above code.
Any one has the idea, how make it work.
Thanks in Advance,
Chinna.

Comparing data size in one table to column widths in another table

I have data in a table that has a large number of columns, many of them nvarchar of varying widths. Im trying to take that data and insert it into another table but Im getting the warning message about string or binary data being truncated. I
suspect there is a field somewhere that is not large enough for the data. However, I run across this often enough I would like to come up with a better solution than just eyeballing the data.
I found this example
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1115499-338-2.aspx
(credit goes to poster in the linked thread above)
Select columns
into #T
from MyDataSource;
select *
from tempdb.sys.columns as TempCols
full outer join MyDb.sys.columns as RealCols
on TempCols.name = RealCols.name
and TempCols.object_id = Object_ID(N'tempdb..#T')
and RealCols.object_id = Object_ID(N'MyDb.dbo.MyTable)
where TempCols.name is null -- no match for real target name
or RealCols.name is null -- no match for temp target name
or RealCols.system_type_id != TempCols.system_type_id
or RealCols.max_length < TempCols.max_length ;
Why a full outer join ? Why not just a left join, since I really only want to see the matches on my source table?
When Im running this against the table im interested in, it doesnt seem to find matches between my target table and my temp table

As an outer join of any type, that query won't work well. For example, suppose you do a left join. So the query begins by getting every row from tempdb.sys.columns (whether it is in #T or not). Consider a row for a column which is not in
#T, you look for matches for rows in Mydb.sys.columns ON
on TempCols.name = RealCols.name
and TempCols.object_id = Object_ID(N'tempdb..#T')
and RealCols.object_id = Object_ID(N'MyDb.dbo.MyTable)
Notice that since the row you are considering is NOT a column in #T, the second part of the ON condition is not true, so the whole ON condition will not be true. But this is a left join. So the join keeps this row with NULL's in the columns coming
from the RealCols table. Then you do the where condition, but the connections are all OR and one of the conditions is RealCols.name is null (which it is because there was no match), your output will include a row for this column in tempdb even though
this column is not in #T. So if you use a left join, the output of this query will include a row for every column in every table in tempdb not named #T.
Similarly, if you do a right join, you get a column for every row of every table in MyDb which is not a column in dbo.MyTable.
And a full join (which you are doing above) will return a row for every column in every table in both tempdb and MyDb.
This query will sort of work if you make it an inner join. But even then it won't find every possible cause of string or binary truncation. For example, you are doing RealCols.max_length < TempCols.max_length. But in sys.columns, if
you have a varchar(max) column, max_length is stored as -1. So if a column in RealCols is varchar(50) and the same column in TempCols is varchar(max), that column will not show up as an exception, but of course, you can get truncation if you attempt
to store a varchar(max) in a varchar(50).
I would run a query more like
Create Table FooX(a int, b varchar(20), c int, d varchar(20), e int, f varchar(20), g decimal(4,0));
Select a, b, 1 as x, 'abc' as y, Cast('' as varchar(max)) As f, Cast(25.1 as decimal(3,1)) as g
into #T
from FooX;
Select 'In Real, not in or different in Temp' As Description, name, column_id, system_type_id, max_length, precision, scale, collation_name From sys.columns Where object_id = Object_ID(N'FooX')
Except Select 'In Real, not in or different in Temp' As Description, name, column_id, system_type_id, max_length, precision, scale, collation_name From tempdb.sys.columns Where object_id = Object_ID(N'tempdb..#T')
Union All
Select 'In Temp, not in or different in Real' As Description, name, column_id, system_type_id, max_length, precision, scale, collation_name From tempdb.sys.columns Where object_id = Object_ID(N'tempdb..#T')
Except Select 'In Temp, not in or different in Real' As Description, name, column_id, system_type_id, max_length, precision, scale, collation_name From tempdb.sys.columns Where object_id = Object_ID(N'FooX')
Order By name, Description;
go
Drop Table #T
go
Drop Table FooX
The output of that is
In Real, not in or different in Temp c 3 56 4 10 0 NULL
In Real, not in or different in Temp d 4 167 20 0 0 SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
In Real, not in or different in Temp e 5 56 4 10 0 NULL
In Real, not in or different in Temp f 6 167 20 0 0 SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
In Temp, not in or different in Real f 5 167 -1 0 0 SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
In Real, not in or different in Temp g 7 106 5 4 0 NULL
In Temp, not in or different in Real g 6 106 5 3 1 NULL
In Temp, not in or different in Real x 3 56 4 10 0 NULL
In Temp, not in or different in Real y 4 167 3 0 0 SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
From which you can quickly see that the differences are c, d, and e are in the real table and not the temp table, f is in both tables but the max_length is different, g is in both table, but the precision and scale are different, and x and y are in the temp
table, but not the real table.

Cannot change column width

Hi, when my 3rd gen nano is connected and iTunes is open and I am in my nano library, I cannot change the column width.
When I try to change the column width in the iTunes library it's no problem, but once in the nano library I cannot.
What gives ?

How to stop table columns widths from drifting

I discovered that all the columns widths of my tables change on their own,
leading me with tables of different columns widths where I wanted to
maintain a strong cohesion of presentation among them.
Here is a scenario to reproduce and understand the problem:
• create a new Pages'08 document;
• insert a Table;
the 3 columns of this newly created table are 5.49 cm width each.
Problematic case:
• change the first column width with:<pre> Table > Table > Column Width > 5 cm</pre> and hit return
• the column width will switch to 5.01 cm
• the 2 other columns widths will have switched to 5.50 cm.
Is there a technique, I didn't find yet, to define a table column to a
fixed value so that Pages'08 won't make it drift and wont touch to
other columns width?

How to set column widths in tables for selected table only, not globally throughout document?

I've been utilizing the below script (thank you so much Ramkumar. P!) to set column widths throughout a sizable InDesign book with tables on every page and it is truly a time saver. At this point in time, I have three versions of it because there are different column widths throughout the book. Is it possible to augment the script to run only on a selected text frame (containing a table)? If so, would someone be kind enough to share the augmented script with me? I've been trying to figure out this seemingly simple change through trial and error with no success as yet. I realize this is a totally newbie request and I'm entirely at the mercy of the kindness of the Javascript gods that contribute within this forum. Seeing that in a different post related to this script, one such guru responded to a request as simple as "Where do I put the scripts in InDesign" gave me enough courage to ask for some help! Thank you in advance to anyone willing to provide a solution.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
     var myWidths = [100, 100, 150, 150];
     for(var T=0; T < myDoc.textFrames.length; T++){
         for(var i=0; i < myDoc.textFrames[T].tables.length; i++){
             for(var j=0; j < myWidths.length; j++){
                 myDoc.textFrames[T].tables[i].columns[j].width = myWidths[j];
     alert("Table width updated successfully...");

Hello all
I have the same problem in that I'm not a scripting person, but was able to get the above script working without problem, and it does set irregular table column widths perfectly, so thanks to Ramkumar. P for that.
BUT, it changes the column width for ALL tables in the document, whereas I would like to just target the selected table.
Any ideas as to how I might amend this script to achieve this?
Thx, Christian

Table component - column width and background color?

Is there any way to set the column width on the table component? And is there any way to set the background color. I am using Xcelsius 2008.
Thanks,
Karen

Column width and background can be set in the Excel range and then bind table component to display the range.
If you change the Column width of background in the Excel range, you need to rebind the display range to update the format.
Hope this can help!
