xDualog listview

[Chris_Wood]

I'm working on an xDialog which has a row of controls across the top and a column of buttons down the left hand size. Snugged up to these is a listview copied from AS. The dialog can be maximized to fill the screen but I am having some difficulty making the Listview dynamically stretch.

In essence I can't figure out how to get around having to specify the listview size.

{region}
{stretch=height,width}

{listviewcustom=60,80itemDetails^=itemDetails_pLV};
{watch=itemDetails!foo}

{endregion}

Attached is are screen shots showing the desired effect, which I can achieve using a text box and of the effect I am getting with a non stretching listview.

Hi Chris,

I did this a while ago. It is not a listviewcustom, but a listviewvirtual command you need, look at the example in learning xdialog database, miscellaneous examples and check out MDI Xdialog with listview control this helped me to get mine working

Dear Lance,

Thanks pointing me in the right direction, I've got it more or less working now, though not quite as I expected. I still had to specify the initial listview width & height but set it to match the total width of the top region of controls and to come down to the bottom of the last left hand button.



Best Regards

Hi Chris,

I am experimenting with HTML (in V9) where you can specify the widths (columns and object) in % of the screen, therefore suiting all screen sizes. Taking a while due to lack of documentation, but getting there slowly.

Lance,

I've just tried embedding a browse in my xDialog (v9), it's far better than the listview. Almost worth upgrading for this alone.

Yes tried that, also thought it was great, but it stays a static width when resizing

Re: xDualog listview

Lance,

By using the same technique as I did for the listview i.e. setting the width & height to a minimum and using the stretch command I got my embedded browse to resize with the form.

{region}
{stretch=height,width}
{watch=browseObj1.mode_get()!modechange}
{card=156,34BrowseCard_browseObj1};
{endregion}

Chris,

It doesn't resize, it just shows more of the browse. Create a browse with only one or two narrow columns then tried your method, no matter how big you make the dialog the browse will not fill the width of it (or it doesnt at my end) with HTML object you can make a browse like object which can be 100% of the dialog size with each column width set to a percentage of the HTML object which looks very neat
