GridCtrl align text in column [message #9987]

Hello folks,

just trying to do a little editor for a lcd display to show status of pc as graphics.

Now I use the GridCtrl and I'm really impressed Shocked

I added an EditField with a FrameRight<Button> to edit a filename
of an image (with FileSel). The problem is the length of the filename. How can I align it right, so at first the path is hidden...

Or maybe how can I add a tooltip so everyone can see the filename?

Maybe someone knows a solution.

Thanks in advance!

Heli

when adding column call AlignRight():

grid.AddColumn("The path").AlignRight();

that's all Wink

GridCtrl dosn't support auto tooltip yet, but I think it's a good moment to add it.

You can also use wrapping property. Just add after AlignRight():

grid.AddColumn("The path").AlignRight().WrapText();

and set proper height of a row (for example 40):

grid.SetDefaultRowHeight(40)

Auto height is not implemented so for now you must control it manually or turn on rows' resizing.
Soon I will refactor GridCtrl a lot so expect auto height calculation to be there.

Hi,

thanks for the quick reply and I didn't read it yet Rolling Eyes

I tried AlignRight, but there are some minor problems with this.
It should be possible to set the alignment for the header and
the body of the table seperately.
Also it does change the vertical alignment (look at the picture).

Thanks
Heli

Yes, that's a bug. I will fix it today. I will also separate aligning for header and body.

Cool thanks.
An other problem is, if the text is very long like a filename Very Happy

it is not correctly aligned right, as it starts always with the left side and cuts off the rest Confused

Bye

Thanks! I'll check that one too. The problem is some part of GridCtrl is untested. Thanks for hunting the bugs.
