Setting Sidebar Width in Portfolios ?

Hi all
I'm trying to set up this document to display all the information in the sidebar that I have inputed in the various folder description fields.It reverts back everytime I close the document and re-open,I'm constantly having to resize the sidebar.
The diameter data is crucial in the sidebar and I wish to have the document open and have that information there without having to resize everytime.
Is this possible, see attached doc.Thanks.

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.
Regards
MuRam

Open/Save Dialogs: How to Set Min. Sidebar Width?

I am now running Lion. I cannot remember if I had this problem under Snow Leopard, but I certainly have it now. Whenever I bring up the Open/Save dialog within some apps (for example, Illustrator CS5.0), no matter how large I've made that dialog overall, the sidebar width is always too narrow such that all the names inside the sidebar aren't perfectly visible horizontally. Yes, I can make the sidebar wider by hand for a single session. But if I close the dialog and open it again, the sidebar becomes narrow again.
How can I define a minimum width for the Open/Save dialog sidebar, that all apps will obey perpetually?

Perhaps, but in my many years of online forum participation, I've found that people are lazy (myself included at times). And unless we exert ourselves, we often don't post something for the benefit of others, even though we may have the answer. As such, a somewhat provocative follow-up post, while having the potential to upset some, is usually sufficient to encourage at least one person to stand up and post a potential solution. It got you to post a response (even though it was not the answer I sought), which I appreciate. Hopefully, someone with the answer will be able to post back here. I am a believer of "where there's a will there's a way," so no doubt someone out there far more clever than I has discovered a fix for it.
I therefore look forward to hearing the thoughts of others on this issue.

How to persist change in finder sidebar width?

Hello guys, I want to persist change in finder sidebar width once I change it. Now what happens is that I drag to resize then go to view->show view options->Use as defaults but next time I create a new folder, it resizes to wrong setting again. I even tried resizing by holding option but no result. How can I persist this change in width
This is what it looks like when new folder is created:
but I want it to be like this each time:
How can I achieve this?
Thank you

Hi kashif789us,
Thanks for the question. For most applications, when you resize a window, you need to quit the app and relaunch it for the changes to take affect. The Finder app is a little different, since you can't quit it.
I would recommend that you make the change to the sidebar width, then choose Force Quit from the Apple menu. You will be given the option to relaunch the Finder app. When you do, choose File > New Finder Window. You should see the resized sidebar in the new window. When you restart your Mac, this same window should persist.
OS X Yosemite: Customize the Finder toolbar and sidebar
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19079
Customize the sidebar
Hide or show the sidebar: Choose View > Hide Sidebar or View > Show Sidebar. (If Show Sidebar is dimmed, choose View > Show Toolbar.)
Resize the sidebar: Drag the right side of the divider bar to the right or left.
Change what’s in the sidebar: Choose Finder > Preferences, click Sidebar, then select or deselect items.
Rearrange items in the sidebar: Drag an item to a new location. You can’t rearrange items in the Shared section.
Add a file, folder, or disk: Drag the item to the Favorites section.
If you don’t see the Favorites section, go to Finder > Preferences > Sidebar, then select at least one item in the section.
Add an app: Hold down the Command (⌘) key, then drag its icon to the Favorites section.
Remove an item: Drag the item icon out of the sidebar until you see a puff of smoke.
The sidebar link disappears, but the original item is still on your Mac. You can’t remove items from the Shared section.
To change other Finder preferences, choose Finder > Preferences. For more information, see Finder preferences.
To set the scrolling behavior for Finder (and other) windows, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click General.

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... :)

Snow Leopard sidebar width in open/save dialog boxes

I think I found the answer to the infuriating non adjustable sidebar width in the open/save dialog box.
It requires finding the plist of every program you want to change (I know... annoying)
Close the application if open. Open the plist in Property List Editor (which is the default anyway so just double click) and delete any line which begins NSNavPanelExpanded...
Reopen the application and the sidebar now mirrors the settings in Finder (where the sidebar stays adjusted if you alt+click drag it).
I haven't restarted yet so don't know if it will stick but I don't see why it shouldn't, and I don't know if it will reflect further finder changes to the sidebar width.

In the case of Photoshop it looks like NSNavBrowserPreferedColumnContentWidth also needs to be deleted, or a new value entered.
So it might be different for different programs

How do I set Page Width to Multiple Pages?

How do I set Page Width to Multiple Pages?
I notice when Cross Tabs are used, the report spans over several pages in width. Can I set this option without using a cross-tab? Since I am having trouble finding a paper width that is 100 inches wide, I was thinking of just using multiple pages.
Thanks,
Linda

Hi Linda,
Try inserting an OLEDB object and select a bitmap and insert a blank bitmap in report header. Now go to preview and right click on OLEDB Object go to format graphic>picture>change the width of the picture
If the width exceeds more than the width of the page then it create virtual pages.
Hope this helps!

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 to set the width of a shuttle?

Hi
I have a group which is shown in intersection-shuttle style but the problem is that it breaks some rows into two lines and i want to make the shuttle a bit wider. How could I set the width of the shuttle. Apparently the Group Width attribute of the group doesn't work for this.

You could try this using the inlineStyle property of the shuttle component in the generated page. Not sure that works though. You better ask this on the JDeveloper forum.
If it works you can create a custom template to include the inlineStyle property during generation.

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

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 ;)
John.

How to set the width of a cell in JTable?

I have created a JTable and I want to set the width of cells.How can I do that?

This is now the third person to tell you that Swing questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
You have several postings out there where you have been given an answer but you haven't bothered to respond to the posting. Indicating whether the suggestion was helpfull or not. I guess you really don't want help from people in the future.
