browser column not wide enough

[BrianSmith]

Sometimes a field will not be entirely visible in a dynamic browser. I have a character field "X(8)" with a value of "00000001" and I can't see the last two characters. Should'nt Progress by default make the column wide enough to see the whole field?

Hi,

The coloumn is wide for a 8 character field, but in GUI because of font size and the way they are displayed it will not hold the same properties of a CHUI screen.

But this is a GUI screen, it is a dynamic browser.

If it's a dynamic browser then dynamically resize the column-width based on the maximum width possible using the font's text-width.


eg (very psuedo-code): mycolumn:width-pixels = (mycolumn:format * font-table:get-text-width-pixels(myfont))
