Interface WebGridWidths


  • public interface WebGridWidths
    This interface is for grid column width manipulations. User can choose different scenario for row and column axes. A scenario controls how the column width would be configured for the specific axis.

    For column axis, the valid scenarios are in EnumDSSXMLWidthScenario.

    • For DssXmlWidthFitToDisplay and DssXmlWidthFitToContent, user will not be able to specify the width of any column.
    • Only for DssXmlWidthFixed scenario, user has the option to specify width for columns. User may specify a width for a particular column. If user does not specify a width for a particular column, a default width will be applied. To specify the column, user may indicate the template unit and the subtitleIndex(depth) of the column. For example, in the report, there is an attribute of "employee", and there are two columns corresponding to it: "Last Name" and "First Name". So for the column of "Last Name", the subtitleIndex is 1, for the column of "First Name", the subtitle index is 2. If user wants to set a specific width of the column of "First Name", user could specify this column by providing the "employee" and subtitleIndex of 1.

    For row axis, the valid scenarios are DssXmlWidthFitToContent and DssXmlWidthFixed in EnumDSSXMLWidthScenario.

    • For DssXmlWidthFitToContent scenario, user will not be able to specify the row height
    • For DssXmlWidthFixed scenario, user will be able to specify the default row height for any row. Currently, we do not have a way to specify a height for a particular row.

    After making neccessary manipulations about grid widths, user needs to apply these manipulations (WebReportManipulation.applyChanges()), and get result of new report instance to see the effect.

      • setWidth

        void setWidth​(int width,
                      WebObjectInfo target)
        Sets the width of a column on the template. The column specified by the template unit object. If this template unit corresponds to multiple columns, this setting will be applied to all columns.
        Parameters:
        width - The width to be set to the column.
        target - The target on the template unit, whose column(s) will be set.
      • setWidth

        void setWidth​(int width,
                      WebObjectInfo target,
                      int subtitleDepth)
        Sets the width of a column on the template. The column specified by the template unit object, and its subtitle depth.
        Parameters:
        width - the width to set for this column
        target - the object on this template unit.
        subtitleDepth - position on a 1-based index. For example, for attribute "employee", there are two forms, "first name" and "last name". So, there are two columns corresponding to "employee" unit. Then if you want to change the width of "first name", you should pass "1" as the subtitleDepth. When subtitleDepth gets set to 0, it means to apply this setting to all columns corresponding to this template unit.
