How to make Grid container full size

I am building a custom calendar control similar to Google
Calendars functionality.
I have done this with a Grid, GridRow and GridItems. However,
I have found the only way to force the Grid to the size I want is
by explictly sizing the GridItems. I would prefer to have a
solution where the user could expand the control and have the
calendar control expand accordingly. Therefore I would like the
Grid container to basically autosize the columns/rows accordingly
to fill out as much space as it is allotted.
Is this possible? Am I just doing something wrong? Everything
I read says that the Grid works hard to be the minimal size it
needs to be. I want to have some dedicated realestate for the
GridItems however I don't want to have to hardcode the dimensions
so it can scale accordingly.
Thanks
Jeff
P.S. I am in the process of a RIA framework selection and
this calendar component is a huge area of concern. So - this is an
important decision criteria for my evaluation.

I don't work with Grid much, it is pretty expensive from a
layout perspective.
But if setting height and width to 100% doesn't work,
remember that you can use binding brackets to assign those values.
eg. width="{this.width/7}"
Fyi, I built a calendar using repeater in a canvas. I just
calculated the x,y positions of the Day components based on a week
index and a day index.

  • How do I get the full size of my pics or video into the time line?

    Greetings,
    I've nener been part of a forum before and an wondering if this will actually be taken seriously. I'm new to video editing and know little about the program I am using (Adobe Premiere Pro CC). Would someone please advise me as to how I can add the full size video or pics to the time line. It appears whenever I add something from my Gopro 3 HD camera I only get a partial of the video / pic.

    Some of this is from the Premiere Elements forum, but the idea of sizing pictures is the same for PPro or Encore

    That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
    It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

  • How to make keynote images full screen?

    Question:  how to make keynote images full screen?  I just noticed. after many successful full screen shows with Keynote 09  5.1.1 that I am no longer seeing the show full screen, at 1280, but only using the center part of my macbook pro 13 inch screen (which will mirror just like that on the projection screen, as far as I know).  Did I hit a setting I do not know about to keep the images so small?
      Thanks

  • How to create ePUB with full size images/pages to adjust according to device?

    Friendly Greetings,
            I have been trying, for nigh on two months, to convert/create my 7 books that are in print into eBooks; with first publishing scheduled to be Nook, with Kindle on the eventually list. I am, sadly still working on just getting the first one published! And I could really use any assistance to get this figured out. My intent was to publish several weeks ago...now my desperation is to publish before the weather gets too warm and kids are outside most of the time...or at least no later than Easter. :0)
            First and foremost, my books are picture/poetry books for kids of all ages. They were fully designed in Photoshop, where I also created the full size images for the first eBook. I received the specifications from B&N for the various Nook devices. Under the assumption that it would be best to create the largest of the files, thus allowing smaller sized devices to adjust the page accordingly to fit and the largest would not overstretch a smaller image, I sized my pages to 1280px x 1920px at 72dpi. (now I hear 150 is standard??)
            My text is included within the image as the design is one image = one page. I included a full text only version of the story/poem at the end for those wishing to adjust text or use a voice reader. I obviously have all the original files, but for publishing they were all saved as JPGs.
            After quite a struggle and a whole lot of frustration I managed to complete the manuscript in Barnes and Noble's Nook Press Manuscript Editor. My internet is molasses and thus much of this was done in the wee hours of the morning when the rest of the time zone is asleep. I only had one page with an issue, of an extra blank line/space that was irreparable. I published, and found it was completely botched in publish, though the preview looked a-okay. Only about the top left 1/6 of each image/page was visible in either my laptop's Nook for PC or my Android Tablet's Nook App. So I agonizingly awaited another 10 hours, hoping no one would buy my book during that time, for it to be removed from sale.
            I downloaded a trial of InDesign CC, and after two weeks of not even being able to create a single new document for some screwy reason, I bought a month's subscription. So far I'm not entirely convinced of this whole Creative Cloud malarkey, especially considering...as like I said my internet is slow...it took me nearly 20 hours just download the software. (Is it really that difficult to offer disc, seriously?) After a chat and phone call I can, in theory, now use InDesign.
            I created a New Document for Digital Publishing at the aforementioned specs (1280 x 1920 px). I made the rectangle placeholders the full size of the page, and place one image per page. This usually inserted the image at about 50% and I would have to select 100% and then move as necessary in to place.
            Thus, my first question is: Is there a way to place an image at 100% without having to do that extra resizing step? Or if there is an alternative way to place the image to the full size of the page without any of those other steps that would be lovely too.
            Okay, after placing several pages/images I also selected each and went to Object Export Options and Checking the Custom Rasterization and "Resize to Text Flow".  I then exported a trial ePUB to see what it would look like. On both the PC and Tablet in landscape mode it was a far cry better than the other, but about oh a 1/3 of the bottom of each page was cut off. On the tablet I rotated to portrait and voila full page. Woohoo! But alas, I don't want to limit it.
            Is there something I am doing wrong? Did I miss a step or two somewhere so that the full image will fit on the page? I feel like I'm just about to turn the page on this thing, but it's stuck to the one after that.
            I would greatly appreciate any insight, tips, help that anyone can offer. I have run the gauntlet of Barnes and Noble...cough, cough...support and apparently I ask questions which no Nook Press rep can answer and the forums over there have no clue about InDesign. It's almost as if with all the fantastic beautiful screens out there today nobody wants picture books! How does National Geographic do it?!
            Thank you very kindly.
    In case it is necessary: My laptop uses Window 7 Pro 64-bit, InDesign CC is 64-bit and my 10.1 tablet uses Android. I can view the EPUB files in Nook for PC and Nook for Android. I also have Kindle, LumiRead, and various other apps on the tablet. I can also have someone preview the finished epub, if need, on a Mac, iPad, and/or Android phone...though I do not have any of these. Not sure who has a Nook I can look at though. Thanks again.

    Q: Is there a way to place an image at 100% without having to do that extra resizing step?
    I think here you want your images to fit in the full page size frame automatically. For this you can try the follwoing steps:
    1. Create a new doc
    2. Goto Object menu and choose Frame fitting options
    3. Select Autofit and from Fitting drowdown, select "Fit content to frame". Refer the screenshot below:
    After this you images should automatically fit in the entire page placeholder frames. Please let me know if this does not work or if the problem you are facing is different and I did not understand your problem correctly.

  • How to make grid without text etc., expand upon load of app?

    hello,
    i did this,
    JPanel panInner = new JPanel();
    panInner.setLayout(new GridLayout(5, 5, 10, 10));
    then after that, i add 25 labels on each without any text.., the grid looks very small and will enlarge upon entering text.., i don't want that to happen, i want the grid boxes to have a constant size all through out regardless of the text's length.
    also, how do i have a 'fixed size', seems all the component's size fitting to the size of the texts.,
    many thanks! :)

  • How to make Transperant container visible , invisble by code

    Dear experts ,
    I want make transaperant container visible or invisible based some boolean value .
    I have gone thr' class    CL_WD_UIELEMENT and CL_WD_TRANSPARENT_CONTAINER. I have found method SET_VISIBLE .
    Let suppose name of my transperant container TC_COSTCENTER .Please let me know what code I have to write . Where should I write ?
    I am writing it code in WD_INIT as this process is based on value that I get on boolean value which tell decide visibility of Transperant container.
    Waiting for reply . Urgetly .
    Points will be given surely .
    Cheers
    Parry

    Hi Parry,
    The dynamic programming way is follows:
    you need to first get a reference to the root element 'ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER' from the view reference available within the wddomodifyview method. the variable returned is of type cl_w_uielement_container. you can use the method get_root_element( ) of the interface if_wd_view for this purpose.
    next get a reference to the transparent container by using the method get_child of the class cl_wd_uielement_container( using the variable returned from the prevoius call) and cast it to a variable of the class cl_wd_transparent_container. to this method you need to pass the id of your transparent container.
    Once you have the reference you can use the method set_visible( ) to make the container visible or invisible at runtime.
    However you need to be careful about the placement of this code within the wddomodifyview method because it would get executed every time. Thus the best way is to store the reference to view in a component controller the first time and later on use this attribute anywhere within your component.
    Regards,
    Shweta

  • How do i make the screen full size so I can preview whole page?, How do i make the screen full size so I can preview whole page?

    How do I adjust the screen to show the full page and the whole page?

    One way to accomplish this is to use the zoom feature.
    Use the Text Size buttons in the Toolbar.
    If you click smaller A button, the contents of the window will zoom out and more of the contents
    will be visible. But fonts will become smaller.
    To revert back, click the larger A button.

  • How to make table tobe full screen

    Hi,
    all my pages have the same html structure, exception the content is different. some the pages with a lot contents, the page display nicely. but for page has only couple lines, the table is displayed on very top of the page with the copyright stuff in the top-middle. how can I force the table be full page and the copyright be the bottom? thanks

    try setting the valign property of the <tr> row which contains the copyright notice to "bottom".
    you might need to set the table's height property to some suitable value to make sure it doesn't just use the minimum height.
