How do I set Column Width in table displayed - have tried everything :-(

Hi,
I'm using Jdev 10.1.2, adf bc and jsp's.
Simple problem, driving me nuts. In my app i display a number of different view objects in a number of jsp's. i want to set the width of the columns so that the info (if large) in each field will stay on one line. i.e. it wont continue onto the next line and take up two rows.
i have tried setting the width property of the <th> & <td>, setting the disply width property in the entity object editor and the view object editor, nothing makes a bit of difference to how the column is displayed.
this results in the tables looking messy and squised, which is totally unsatisfactory.
so if anyone could shed any light on the subject, i would be most grateful.
Thanks in advance......

hi Newbe,
if you set the option noWrap="true" on the column the text will not be wrapped;
<af:column noWrap="true" sortable="false" headerText="col5">
<af:outputText value="#{row.col5}"/>
</af:column>
Good luck

    Also, read the JTable API before posting questions. You will find a link to the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Tables", which contains an example of doing exactly this.

    My apologies. Your post jogged my little grey cells to the point that I did a few experiments. In essence, you are right. My plug-ins do not work with 8-bit greyscale images. I like to deliberately shoot B&W and have a Wratten #12 minus-blue filter on the lens--as I used to do with film cameras.
    The raw files ( Fujifilm's .RAF) were converted in Adobe CR by checking off "Convert to Grayscale" under the fourth tab. In the future, I will do the B&W conversion in Photoshop with either Nik or Topaz plug-ins.
    Thanks for your input!

  • 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

  • How do I set column widths in read/write rules?

    Hello structure experts,
    I am reading a set of DITA files into a specific FM template format, and there is one detail I cannot get to work properly. It should be possible to define column widths in a table, even if the DITA file does not include that information. But the Structure Application Developer Reference does not give the information on which string to pass to the column widths fm property. Does anyone out there have experience in doing this ?
    Thanks
    Jang

    Got it !!!
    Turned out to be simple, but the info was more or less hidden in the Dev Ref Guide: I had already put the "fm property column widths is value " line in but did not know the syntax for the values. Turns out you need to delimit the values by spaces, not commas. The parser does not give ANY useful information about this, just mentions 'syntax error near somewhere' or completely ignores the values you specify.
    This is how the rule for my DITA properties element now works out:
    element "properties" {
      is fm table element;
      fm property columns value is "3";
      fm property column widths value is "5cm 5cm 6cm";
    It works. I earn 10 points for answering my own question. :-)
    Ciao

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Set Column width in query (not using SQL*Plus)

    How can I Set Column width in query
    I understand you can set column width using
    column col1 FORMAT A5
    select col1 from table1;But this only works in SQL*Plus
    I want to be able to do this in a regular SQL query window (not in SQL*Plus), how can I do it.....
    I am using a 'SQL window' in PL/SQL Developer IDE
    and when I use this syntax it says:
    ORA-00900: Invalid SQL statement
    Any suggestions are appreciated...
    thanks,
    M.

    Did you try using RPAD or LPAD functions? They fill the unfilled part of a string with character you provide... either on right or left side depending on what function you use.
    e.g.
    SELECT RPAD('Smith', 10, ' ') Name FROM dual;http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/sql/rpad.html

  • Setting column width in a command-line program

    Is there a way to send data to the screen in a command-line Java program that will be formatted as a number
    of columns with a set column width? I am looking for something similar to the C++ setw() I/O manipulator
    used in cout.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    If you go to: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/writingFiltered.html
    it will show you how to subclass a filtered output stream and add your own formatting methods.Then you can chain your new class to System.out
    like this:
    YourFilteredStream yfs = new YourFilteredStream(System.out); .
    Then:
    yfs.yourNewMethod(); goes directly to system out in the new format.

  • Autofit column width to table cell content in Pages

    Hello,
    Would anyone know how to autofit the column width of a table cell in Pages '09?
    I have searched Pages Help to no avail.
    Thank you very much in advance.

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

Maybe you are looking for
