Is it possible to resize page column widths at runtime (by the user)?

hi all,
i have cretaed a page using the 2-columns narrow/wide layout.  this layout is perfect for what i want to do.
however, the users have complained that they would like to be able to resize the columns, just like they are able to do with the Detailed Navigation column (using the small "<" and ">" arrows).
is it posssible to add this functionality to my custom pages so that can also resize the columns?
i searched for options in the properties, but didn't find anything.
thanks,
mm

This was a great place for me to start
Thank you
I took profdant139's suggestions a bit further as my real goal was to have the "Document column" narrower. The goal to be able to see all the other document info that was usually hidden way out to the right
To achieve my results I right clicked in the upper bar with the column names and chose from the drop down box "comments" column (as suggested). I then dragged it to the far right. This pushed all the other columns over.
In the end of the day I ended up adding "Size" and "Date modified" columns as well to get my desired results.
Remember one can move different columns around to be in the order you need by clicking on the column to get it active and then left click and drag it to where you want
Another great thing is that by default (Using Mavericks) the date modified, opened,created columns have date and time. One can shrink them down to xx/xx/xx format by manually adjusting the column width like one does in Excel - click on column separator up top and drag
Once all that is done, at least on my box, I closed it out and opened up a new finder window and everything was as I wanted.
Thank you for the help  from the above helper to get me here

    QUERY : Has anyone some experience in implementation/development of following functionality in a JSP/Tomcat server based application:
    1. Resizing of column width for a result which has multiple columns. .2. Drag and drop of these columns or any other mechanism for re-sequencing the columns?
    I would like to know will JSF would be helpful in it.

    Amit,
    The column resizing and 'drag and drop ' are client side issues. They requires DHTML and Javascript.
    AJAX is what is required. (wiki AJAX for more info)
    I am working on an AJAX grid and combobox component for JSF that will do this and many more functions.
    Let me know if you want more information.

  • Form Resize Affect Column width?

    Hi Folks,
    I have a very strange problem. I try to add a new matrix to Production Order form. The matrix will have 2 columns which are:
    1. No - Non Editable (for numbering)
    2. Description (information).
    My code is like the following:
            oItem = oForm.Items.Add("mxRoute", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_MATRIX)
            oItem.Left = 12
            oItem.Width = 532
            oItem.Top = 136
            oItem.Height = 183
            oItem.FromPane = 3
            oItem.ToPane = 3
            oMatrix = oItem.Specific
            oColumns = oMatrix.Columns
            '// Adding Culomn items to the matrix
            oColumn = oColumns.Add("#", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_EDIT)
            oColumn.TitleObject.Caption = "#"
            oColumn.Width = 20
            oColumn.Editable = False

            oColumn.TitleObject.Caption = "Operations"
            oColumn.Width = 500
            oColumn.Editable = True
    The problem occured when i try to maximize my form. The first Col (#) will resize to a very big size!!! When i try to resize it to smaller form, it still very big column. Anybody has clue what should i do to the form since it is not possible to restrict the form type to Fixed???
    Your help will be very appreciated..

  • Is it possible to set default column widths in list view when using a finder window in Mavericks?

    The default 'document' column is way too wide and forces you eye to track all the way across the screen to read info like "date modified', 'kind' or 'size'.
    Tried several times to create a narrower default 'document name' column with no results. Couldn't find anything in preferences or view options. Tried dragging column headers while holding the down the option key with no results. 
    Every time I open a new finder window, all columns except the 'document' column affixed to the right side of the window. Also, when you grab the bottom right corner of a window to resize smaller, the lists become re-affixed to the right side of the window when opening the window back up.
    Experiencing the same problem in Mavericks 10.9.3 on an iMac and Macbook Pro Retina.

  • Resize jtable column width

    I am trying implement a utility in JTable by which when a person clicks on the column header, the whole column should resize according to the cell which has lengthiest data. If you have seen this in MS Excel where by clicking on the column this happens. I want the same thing.
    Is there anyway already defined in javax.swing?
    I have added a Mouselistener on Tableheader and when the person clicks on a column header, I first finds out the column index. Now on that column index scan the whole column for the lengthiest data. After finding the lengthiest data I set the preferred width for that column and call doLayout on the table object. In this case the problem is of font as the font is not fixed width. The multiplication factor which returns the pixel doesn't gives the right pixel width. Is there any way by which I can find pixel width of a String?

    Use the following code to compute the width of a
    column in pixels required to display the maximum sized
    string in the table column:
    FontMetrics fm =
    table.getFontMetrics(table.getFont());
    int width =
    SwingUtilities.computeStringWidth(fm,maxSizeString)
    //then to set the width of your column:
    TableColumnModel columnModel =
    table.getColumnModel();
    TableColumn column =
    columnModel.getColumn(YOUR_COLUMN);
    column.setPreferredWidth(width);Rizwanthx that was usefull

  • Possible bugs when adjusting column width in Query Builder

    Good morning,
    we use Oracle SQL Developer 3.2.20.09 with included JDK on Windows 7 32 bit.
    When we open a sql file, in the Query Builder the criteria columns don't auto-adjust accordingly with the length of text present in the columns.
    Also, if we modify or type a new criteria in a column, and immediately after drag the column header to widen the cell, the cell content is erased (if we click first in another cell the problem doesn't occur).
    Thanks for reading and best regards.
    Marco - Italy

    Hi Marco,
    Please note that SQL Developer has included a Query Builder from a third-party since the 3.0 release. I will ping the developer that acts as liaison; perhaps you will get a more definitive response. I can only assume any UI bugs would have to be fixed by the third-party company at his request.

  • Columns' width at runtime

    I have a report with the option "Format with Multiple Columns" checked. In the "Layout" tab I've manually set the width of the column, but the actual width of the column will only be determined at runtime.
    Remarks: in my report I need always 3 columns, but I want a customizable width. "Can grow" option on a field not work, because the second column overlap the first one.
    How can I change the width of the column at runtime? It's possible?
    There is another way to create a report with a runtime-determined number of columns/width?
    [Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0 on Visual Studio 2010 Professional.]

    There no way that I know of to set the width at runtime.
    Depending on your data and SQL skills, you might be able to set something up using a cross-tab, though.  This won't get you a custom width, but it might get you a custom number of columns.
    However, if your real issue is that "Can Grow" fields are overlapping the fields below them, there is a way to handle this.
    1.  Create a new section under the one where the "Can Grow" field is located.
    2.  Move everything that is below the "Can Grow" field into the new section.
    3.  Bring the bottom of the original section up to the bottom of the "Can Grow" field.
    This will allow the "Can Grow" field to grow as needed because the section will grow, but the stuff under it will start in the new section and not be overlapped.

  • Is there a way to automatically add a page to my current form when the user marks the check box?

    I have an existing expense report form that I created using Adobe Pro's Form Tools. The user enters all the appropriate information (ie, vendor, amount, business justification, etc.) and then it calculates all the expenses at the bottom.
    I have added a box next to each line item to be checked by the user in the case that they have an expense with a missing receipt.
    Is there a way to have a pre-existing missing receipt form, be added at the end of the expense report, each time the user marks one of these missing receipt check boxes?
    If so, is there a way to have all the expense line item data automatically fill in the information on the added missing receipt form?
    I am using Adobe Pro's Form tool rather than Livecycle because it is compatible with my IPAD.
    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.

  • Possibility for automatic column width in column view

    hi there,
    i would like to ask if anybody has an idea to fulfil my desire.
    i work in column view in the finder of os 10 and it is not handy that i can not read some of my file names due to the column view.
    is there a possibility that the columns change their width automatically? or does anyone knows a shareware to solve this problem.
    i want to open a new window and all columns change themselves.
    thank you very much. kind regards,
    michael

    While this isn't a solution, if you double click on the column width adjustment button (under the arrows of the column you are looking at) the column will increase width to fully show the widest name in the column.
    However, it would be nice to have a Preference available that would let you choose to always have columns displayed with columns at sufficient width to show full names.
    I think this issue is a remnant of a small screen psychology. Large screens are now so prevalent that wide columns would not be a significant issue.

  • Resize column width for JTable without column headers?

    Hi,
    I find that for me to resize columns of a JTable by using
    mouse dragging, I MUST have column headers and then drag
    column headers to resize them. Is my understanding correct?
    Actually, I need to have a table without header columns.
    How can I use mouse to resize column width by dragging?
    The background for this request is that I am putting a
    complex table as another table's column header and I hope to
    be able to resizing the complex table by mouse dragging.
    Thanks very much,
    David

    Hi,
    I think you have mistake there. Try
    <style type="text/css">
    table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td {
    white-space:nowrap !important;
    td[headers="DESCR"] {
    width:300px !important;
    max-width:300px !important;
    #apexir_DESCR {
    width:10px;
    max-width:300px !important;
    </style>And you can try add
    table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
    width: 100% !important;
    table-layout: fixed !important;
    }Regards,
