Set column width of a multicolumn listbox in LV touch panel module

Hello,
I am trying to build an application using LV Touch panel module 8.6 and I am having a problem with multicolumn listboxes. I am setting the the width of the columns by clicking and dragging the separator between the headers, but when I transfer and run my application to a winCE controller the width of the columns is the same for all columns (and very narrow actually).
Does anyone know something about it?
I also noticed the following two problems. When I transfer my application in the winCE controller, the line and column separators are disappeared and the column headers are also disappeared, although I have set them to be visible in my vi.
Thanks in advance.

The issues that you are having are because the LV touch
panel Module does not support "Moveable column separators" and
"Row and column headers". The limitations of using a touch panel are available
in the LabVIEW help file.
A possible workaround may be to use a series of arrays with a string data
type then using a single scrollbar control multiple property nodes.
I have attached an example.
I hope this has helped.

How do you autosize column widths in a multicolumn listbox?

I know that it's possible to autosize row height, but I can't find anything relating to autosizing column widths in a multicolumn listbox. This makes what I'm doing difficult, because I want to be able to have dynamic content and won't know beforehand how wide to make the columns. Therefore, I need to do it programatically or find something already built in.
Thanks for your help!

I did an example along the lines of the suggestions above and it works pretty well. I'll attach it here. Note that this only works for 13pt font. If you want to scale this example to include larger font, then you can get that information from the cell height property, which does autoscale by default. The cell height is usually about 2 larger than the font size (i.e. 13pt font = 15 cell height, 24 pt font = 26 height).
This example is written in LV7.0. What would really be cool is if someone would write an XControl for LV8 that would do all this automatically and require no extra block diagram code! If only I had the time...

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.

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

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 can I set column width in JTable?

How can I set column width in JTable?

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.

Dynamically setting column width doesn't work all the time

I wanted to dynamically set the width of a column in a JTable to be half of the width of a another column. This should happen whenever the frame is resized. But somehow I need to tell this twice to Java. If I don't then sometimes the column width isn't set new.
Is this a Java bug or what?
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent ce)
     try
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMaxWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMinWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
          // Again, or it won't work:
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMaxWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMinWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
     catch(SQLException e)
}

Is it possible that your call to
ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMinWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
is altering the response created by
ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMaxWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
? Have you tried calling them once but in the other order? Or just calling the "setMaxWidth" call twice and leaving out the second "setMinWidth"?
Good luck... :)

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

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

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
appreciated.

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

Question about setting column width in SQL*Plus using info retrieved w SQL

Good morning,
Is there a way to tell SQL*Plus to set the width of a column to the greatest width of the elements found in the column ? (as opposed to the default which is the width declared in the DDL)
In other words, I'd like to do something functionally equivalent to this:
COL <columname> format a[select max(length(<columnname>)) from <thetablethatcontainscolumname>]
I'm doing the above manually in two steps
1. select max(length(columnname)) from .....
2. col columnname format a[resultofstep1]
Is there a way of doing it in one step ?
Thank you for your help,
John.

Hi Munky,
>
you should consider whther you are using the correct tool for the job, SQLplus isn't exactly ideal for doing presentation layer stuff
>
I'm not really doing presentation stuff, I asked because it would be very convenient for everyday stuff. I commonly query the tables that I am going to deal withm just to have a look at the column names and a few values, something like:
select * from EMP where rownum <= 10; -- just to have a look at the table and some values
when the table contains a wide column then the display gets all messed up. It would be nice to have an option or a mechanism to tell SQL*Plus to automatically use the width of the widest value, instead of having to determine the value and then manually set the column.
thank you for your help, it's good to know that I didn't miss some trivial setting in the documentation that would do it ;)

Setting column width in OBIEE Answers report

Hi All,
Not sure if this has been asked before in the forums, but I did not succeeded in finding any clues. We have an OBIEE 10g Answers table view report that we need to display on our dashboard. The problem is that we need to set some width for all the columns in the report so that report does not extends horizontally as data in column grows but not much luck setting width in Column Properties. Since I am a newbie in the world of OBIEE, so I would appreciate any guidance with setting widths in an Answers report.
Looking forward to your responses.
Regards,
Maria

Hi,
The best option to do this is :
1. Create a report which has less data. And in the column properties hide it.
2. Edit the Dashboard page and there is an option called 'Add Column'
3. Place the report with the hidden column.
4. Please hide the complete section and remove the collapsible. And save it
5. When you view the report, it would not appear in the page but you can view the desired report.
Please let me know if you still face issues.

The fields in CSV (Comma-Separated-Value) files are separated by commas; they do not have a fixed width.

Setting Column Widths Corrupts Spreadsheet

I'm working with Open XML for the first time and I am astonished at how complicated it is. The Excel object model was complicated, but it seems simple by comparison. I'm about ready to give up and look for a different solution, but I'll try posting
this question here and see if I can get any simple answers.
I have an ASP.NET MVC web page and I want to let my user download a spreadsheet with data from the database. I can get some data to appear in the downloaded spreadsheet, but when I tried to set the column widths in Open XML it started given me file
validation errors and none of the data appears, and the column widths are not set. It's just a blank spreadsheet. This is the error it displays:
