Column widths and gutters

I would like to have variable column widths and gutters. At present (Acrobat 6 running under XP Prof. SP3) although I can choose the number of columns, and hence the number of gutters, all columns must be the same width and all gutters the same width.

What does your question have to do with Acrobat? Acrobat is not an editor.

Is there any way to make column width and height 0 by using formula?

Eg:
=If (column = value) then Column width = 0px and height = 0px

Hi Riaz,
Instead of kepping column width and height as 0, you can just hide the particular column by using the same function that you mentioned above, (if column = value) in hide..
You can just right click on the column->hide->hide if->dimension=value.

Is it possible to have a fixed column width and a URL link?

I am trying to achieve having a popup link on a column within a SQL report but also have the report column a certain width. I can have either or however not at the same time.
What I did was created a SQL report, edited a column and gave it a URL redirect (page in application) as normal.
For the fixed column width, I used:
<div style="width:250px; height:54px; overflow:hidden" title="#Comments#">#Comments#</div>On Column Formatting / HTML Expression
And for the popup URL, I used:
onclick="window.open(this.href,'_blank','resizable=0,scrollbars=0,width=650,height=300,menubar=0,location=0');return false;" title="Comments"On the Column Link / Link Attributes

Andy thank you for your reply, however I either am not completly understanding or there is a problem elsewhere.
I have changed to the code to fit the needs of the application as so:
!http://i41.tinypic.com/2m6mrh4.jpg!
App ID: 523
Page: 23
Item: P23_STATUS_COMMENT
Column to select: Comments
Whenever clicking on the link, the following error is given:
Expecting p_company or wwv_flow_company cookie to contain security group id of application owner.
Error ERR-7620 Could not determine workspace for application ().{code}

Prob with fixed column widths and word wrapping in viewer

i have a report where each record has a very long paragraph of text in it.
In desktop and plus, the text column is at a fixed width and the text just wraps nicely according to the column width.
But in Viewer, the column widths do not stay fixed, the text does not wrap, and the long text is displayed in a single line that completely stretches the column width off the page and requires a horizontal scroll bar.
is there anyway to fix the column width in viewer, have the text naturally wrap, and prevent the column stretching. All word wrapping settings are on, but seem to have no effect. I can't seem to find any solution to this.
Thanks...

Hi Pritam,
Per my understanding that you can't see the vertical scrollbar of the ReportViewer controls 2012 to scroll for the grid rows, but can see the vertical scrollbar of the web application, you also can't fix the headers while scrolling, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can't reproduce your issue, but you have an alternative way to add some css to the web form's source code to display the vertical scrollbar.
Details information below for your reference:
Please check below properties setting of the reportviewer which control the visibility of the scrollbar:
AsyncRendering="true"
SizeToReportContent="false"
Please check if this problem also occur on other version of IE and other type of browser.
Please check if you have done correct setting of the Fix data to freeze the table header as the step of below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934257(v=sql.100).aspx
If step1 doesn't work, please click the source of webform.aspx and add below CSS to add the vertical scrollbar manually:
#ReportViewer1 {
overflow-y: scroll;
Run the application you will see it display as below:

If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Planning Layout Column Width and Text Wrapping

Hello,
Is there a way in a BPS layout to set the column width to a certain length and have the column heading texts wrap? I noticed an answer for adjusting a table API for BW Web columns, but not BPS.
Thanks,

A coworker figured out by selecting the line break in the change subcomponent it wraps the column text.

Uneven Column Width and Spanning

So, I would like to create a grid with two columns of different widths. From what I can tell, the only way to do this is to manually adjust column guides on a master page and then flow in my text.
The only problem is that InDesign creates separate frames for each column instead of a 2-column frame. I can't have any ¶ styles span the columns.
Does anyone have a creative solution for this? I would really prefer not to use separate text frames any time I want to span columns.
Thanks,
Chris

Depending on the specific needs of the text flow, you might be able to use some combination of a multiple-column layout, span-column properties, left and right indents, text frame insets, and master-page frames with text wrap properties, so achieve your goal. By "multiple-column layout" I'm thinking of the technique of designing page grids with many columns, and placing page content across one, two, or more columns; in this fantasy, I'm thinking of different span-column properties. For example, with a six-column grid, paragraphs could span one, two, three, four, five or all six, to give the effect of different column widths in the text frame. I've done only the barest minimal experiment; it seems promising. It would take some effort to create, but setting the necessary properties by using styles, the effect could maintain itself without manual intervention, so the development effort would be returned every time you use it.

Applescript/Pages and adjusting column width (and paragraph style)

I was hoping that some someone might know how to adjust the width of individual columns in Pages using Applescript. It seems like it should be a simple task, and I can adjust the overall width/height of the table, but I haven't found a way to adjust the column width. Alternatively, I could have the program create the table in Numbers and copy/paste it into Pages, but I'd imagine that would get a bit messy and wouldn't allow me to use a hanging indent in the cells (to the best of my knowledge).
Also, is there a way to adjust the paragraph style used by the text in the table? Otherwise, I could just use a templet and define the the default table style appropriately. (Though not the most elegant solution).
Thanks in advance for your help!
(In case it helps, the script I'm working on parses an unformatted inventory and parses it into paragraphs/tables.)

Try this:
set tableCount to 0
--open file to be pased here, excluded for example
tell application "Pages"
    activate
    set theDoc to (make new document)
    tell theDoc
        --makes paragraph styles used
        make new paragraph style with properties {name:"Folio", font name:"Times New Roman", font size:12, bold:true, alignment:left, space after:5, keep with next paragraph:true, space before:15}
        make new paragraph style with properties {name:"Place", font name:"Times New Roman", font size:12, bold:false, alignment:left, line spacing type:relative, line spacing:100}
        make new paragraph style with properties {name:"Description", font name:"Times New Roman", font size:12, bold:false, italic:true, alignment:left, line spacing type:relative, line spacing:100}
        make new paragraph style with properties {name:"Table", font name:"Times New Roman", font size:12, alignment:left, left indent:0.5, first line indent:0.0}
        --begin repeat, gathers MS info from one doc (unformatted) and writes it into another with formatting, setting variables directly for example
        set MSName to "new Manuscript"
        set MSPlace to "place where MS is stored"
        set MSDesc to "description of MS"
        set tableData to {{"folio", "title", "composer"}, {"", "subtitle", ""}, {"etc", "next", "next"}}
        --write paragraph information from earlier
        set currentPar to (make new paragraph at end of paragraphs with data MSName)
        set paragraph style of currentPar to "Folio"
        set currentPar to (make new paragraph at end of paragraphs with data MSPlace)
        set paragraph style of currentPar to "Place"
        set currentPar to (make new paragraph at end of paragraphs with data MSDesc)
        set paragraph style of currentPar to "Description"
        --create table, add data, and format

GridControl: Column width and Font Color

I'm having two problems with the GridControl in JBCL:
1) I can't set the font color of the text in the gridcontrol. Is
this possible? I tried setting the foreground color, but that
didn't work. I'd also like to be able to set the background
color for the headers.
2) I have a gridcontrol connected to a queryDataSet. I set the
column width of the columns in the query data set, and the
columns in the gridcontrol expand up to about 100pixels. After
that however, the don't get any larger (even when set to 300). I
have 2 columns I want to span the entire width of the screen,
but
I can't get it working.
Thanks for your help,

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!

Control footnote column width and placement?

Hello,
My client used dynamic footnotes, which I find frustrating to deal with.
I have a 3-column layout (see attached image) and the footnotes are falling in the column in which the
reference shows up. But I want to have footnotes preferably always fall in the leftmost column
and stretch across at least 2 columns. I feel like I've done this before but don't recall how I controlled them.
Is there any way to do this?
Also, the footnotes seem to be in sort of table-like cells. If I turn on "show frame edges,"
I see blue lines surrounding each footnote. I have paragraph style set to 1p above but that only refers
to the entire block of footnotes. How can I add space between each footnote?
Thank you,
Jane

Hi,
this is HTML matter. AFAIK It isn't possible to set row height. Workaround:
Suppose your first column has name COL01, then edit column attribute HTML Expresion like this: <div style="height:50px; overflow:auto;">#COL01#</div>
Than every row will be at least 50 pixels high, more if cell content in another column will be too long to fit in. But you can do the same thing for all columns and than you will have exactly 50 pixels high rows and scrollbars in every cell with long text.

Interactive Report Column Headings and Row Height

I am using the div style="width:350px;" method to control the width of columns in various interactive reports. That works fine except for the following:
1. When creating filters, the <div...> stuff shows up along with the actual column heading, thus confusing some end users
2. Even when I uncheck the "Use same text for single row view" checkbox and then provide a simple single row view label, the <div> stuff still shows up on the single row view
Does anyone have a better solution?
Also, does anyone know of a way to limit the row height within an interactive report row? I have some columns of data that contain a large amount of HTML data and I'd like to be able to limit the number of rows that show on the report.
Is Oracle planning to provide some better control over the Interactive Report columns in another version? The Interactive Report is such a huge improvement in usability in APEX - it would be great to take it to another level by providing some better control over column width and row height.

Dale,
Unfortunately we don't have much we can use to do what you would like. I would have said it's impossible until version 4 but you could actually do something similar to what Roel has done. His trick is in the edit button. He changed the edit button to use an "onload" call to a JavaScript process. You could do the same but call a process that goes across the rows and styles each column. Now because you don't have a way to identify the column (can't use the order because the end user could change it) you'll have to write the code to look at the top row first and then style the appropriate column. As far as I can tell, this would be quite difficult and inefficient. Having said that if you need it that bad and would like some help with it, put up an example application on apex.oracle.com and provide the workspace/username/password and I'll take a look.

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 !
Edited by: leinadjan on Aug 1, 2011 11:15 AM

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);

Setting column widths using CSS...

Hi guys,
I am using a simple 2 column table to layout pictures and
text. The problem I'm having is that I'm not sure how to set the
column widths and as such when you flick from page to page the
column widths and don't stay exactly equal to each other as I'd
like them too.
This can clearly be seen through clicking and comparing the
following two pages.

Any advice on how I can resolve this would be much

Hi James,
I see the scrollbars now but now I also see what you mean :(
I think the easy fix is to create a class and apply it to
every single
td that has the text/image/heading to give them a fixed
width! (Maybe
only applying it to the top td's would do the trick... I'm
really no
good with tables)
Hope it made some sense

Layout/column width displaying differently in IE...

I'm having a problem getting my Spry menu all in one horizontal line. On the rest of my site, and in Chrome and Firefox, the navigation at the top looks as it should. But on this page only, and only in Internet Explorer, the 2 menu items on the right are getting bumped to the next line:
http://atenndesign.com/about.html
I compared it to the code in my other site files, and the column widths and image/menu widths match, so I'm not sure what's causing the menu to display this way in IE. Any ideas?

You are not using the latest Spry files
The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
