In one of my apps I'm still using the very old iGrid OCX version 4.
Upgradig to iGrid 6 is currently not an option for me.
I've desperately tried to find any way to store 2 extra strings in a Cell. They should not appear as a cell text.
The first thing I tried to do was assign a class to "CellValue" instead of "CellText", but it wouldn't be accepted.
Then I tried something something really dirty: I have simply added a hundred spaces and my 2 extra string, separated by a special char so that I could split them up later.
This however resulted in "..." being displayed on the cell texts. I could work around this by assigning textdraw flags to the cell, but when I hover over the cell, the entire string is shown again. I wanted to hide it.
Updating to version 6 or even iGrid.NET (where I could simply use CellTag or assign as class to a cell) is currently not an option for me.
Thank you for any help!
Aaaaahhhhh. :-D I got it:
I could simply (ab)use the "CellCtrlKey" property of a cell to store the additional strings.
Edit: Hmmm, I can set this value, but it gets ignored, meaning when I retrieve it, it is "" again.
I guess that is a value that can only be used when a cell is a checkbox cell.
Edit 2: I haven't found any way, so I now use a matrix / array of string, string that stores these extra values.
I'm also using iGrid.NET and iGrid6 in other projects, and in these versions, it's super easy, but as I explained, for this one project I can't upgrade.

when I used column freeze option I had this problem. Row height is okay when the cell only contain single line words like
"Amy should look around for any last items, notice the surfboard and then move to it."
but when the words become like this (have multiple line) the column freeze's row have different height :
"Amy should look around for any last items, notice the
surfboard and then move to it."
Yes, I used to have this same problem and I'd wager you're using Bootstrap and have checkboxes in your code. If not, it may not be the same problem.
If it is, then you have to go into the Bootstrap code and remove the css that adds margins to checkboxes. That fixed it for me and should be entered as a bug in the git repo.
You can prevent this behaviour by enabling AutoRowSize plugin (autoRowSize: true)

If that does not work on it's own, try using both autoRowSize: true and autoColumnSize: true
I am working on a GUI using qtruby. I have a ListWidget that I am filling with ListWidgetItems. So far these have just contained the text that I wanted to display and everything worked fine. I wanted these items to also hold some hidden data to use when they are clicked on. I used ListWidgetItem.setData() to set the data and I can get the data from it when it is clicked just fine. However once I add the data the text being displayed is now shifted over to the right about 4 spaces. When I click on it a little dotted box appears around the text but not the space that was added. It looks like it is a space for an icon but I have not set any icon and I don't want one. How do I get rid of this extra space so that items containing data are lined up with everything?
The code is very straight forward:
item = Qt::ListWidgetItem.new( #grain_strings[index] )
item.setFont( #font )
# TODO this is causing the text to be indented, removing it removes the indent
item.setData( 1, Qt::Variant.from_value( grain.type ) )
#item_list.insertItem( #end_of_grains+1, item )
The first argument to setData is the role number and for some reason you chose to set it to 1. The documentation says: "The data to be rendered as a decoration in the form of an icon. (QColor, QIcon or QPixmap)". So you are telling Qt to display an icon but you are not giving it a valid icon object.
Try setting the role to Qt::UserRole, which is "The first role that can be used for application-specific purposes." I am not sure how to access that constant from Ruby. If it is not provided by the qtruby gem, you could use 0x100 I suppose.
We have a script that export our Indesign documents to HTML and one of the routine is to export tables. In this script we go throught each Tables->Rows->Cells and evaluate some of the properties (i.e. bottomEdgeStrokeType, topEdgeStrokeType, etc...) and transport them to HTML.
Now yesterday we had problem converting one particular document because some cells were missing the "bottomEdgeStrokeType" property entirely. I've discovered this by outputting the properties of each cells and compare the faulty ones with the others.
This line bellow was trowing the error: "Invalid object for this request.".
var cellType = cell["bottomEdgeStrokeType"];
Now, to fix this I've wrapped this around a try catch block to handle the case when it's not there, but now what is puzzling me is how on earth can Extendscript instantiate an object with missing properties?
Indesign version: CS5.5
A property is not only 'undefined' if it cannot exist at all (such as asking for the parent text frame for a character in overset text), but InDesign's Javascript engine also fails to return a reasonably accurate result for multiple values.
If you ask for "the" point size of a paragraph, where this paragraph contains multiple sizes, poor ID does not consider to return something like CONSTANT.Mixed, or the first value only, or (what I might have preferred) an array of the values; it returns undefined instead.
So how can a single table cell have multiple bottom strokes? If the cell underneath it is split into multiple cells, and one has a "top" stroke but the other has not.
It's difficult to recommend an adequate solution. You could first test if the current cell is "merged" (as far as InDesign's internal table model is concerned) with columnSpan; and if so, iterate over the number of columns spanned and test the next row's cells for their top stroke, which in theory should match the bottom stroke of the cell above. (I find myself wondering if this is always true. ID's table model is ... weird. It's not entirely like a HTML table, despite the functional overlaps.)
If columnSpan is greater than 1 and equal to the number of cells immediately below the current one, you could test if all of their "top" values are the same and if so use that value. (I never tested this so ID's table model may simply fail because a cell is merged, regardless of same-values or not.)
One could attempt to flag this cell's next row to output "top" strokes as well -- but alternating top and bottom strokes may not align nicely in CSS, side to side. Perhaps it's best to translate only the first top stroke value to "the" bottom stroke property for your current cell, and fix up manually where needed (how?) or, a reasonable action, hope that no-one will ever notice it.
I’ve come across a problem with Windows list controls (I am specifically using MFC, but it looks like it applies to all list controls in the Windows common controls library).
In my specific case, I want to create a list control that has two or more columns. The first column (0) is text-only and is used to allow the user to jump to entries by typing the text in that row. Column two (or three, or four, or whatever) has an image (or an image and text; either way).
This much is all well and good and can be done easily without problem, however the final list control then ends up having a space to the left of the text in column 0 (it may be on the right on an RTL system). This spacer appears to be reserved for an image and I cannot figure out a way to prevent it. (Arranging the specific order of the columns did not change anything.)
Looking around, I found some other people complaining of the same thing, specifically this thread which leads to this thread. The proposed solution does not work because as was stated, simply shrinking the width of column zero merely cuts off the text rather than the image spacer (plus, you then have to prevent and/or process any changes to column widths that the user tries to make).
Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this bug short of writing a list control from scratch or using one of the too-fancy grid controls on CodeProject/CodeGuru/etc.?
Thanks a lot.
Did you try to change the iIndent member of the LVITEM struct? MSDN says this:
iIndent Version 4.70. Number of image widths to indent the item. A
single indentation equals the width of
an item image. Therefore, the value 1
indents the item by the width of one
image, the value 2 indents by two
images, and so on. Note that this
field is supported only for items.
Attempting to set subitem indentation
will cause the calling function to
fail.
Column 0 is special in a ListView. As soon as you assign a small image list to the ListView, the control expects you to show an image in column 0, so it leaves space for it.
Solutions:
make column 0 zero-width, give it the value you want the user to be able to type. Column 1 becomes your "first" text column. Columns 2+ are for your images. You need full row select style for this to work. Yes, you have to prevent the user from resizing column 0. Yes, that is a pain.
make a column that does have an image to be column 0 and use LVM_SETCOLUMNORDERARRAY to rearrange the display order
owner draw the items.
give column 0 an icon (just to cover all bases)
When using custom-draw (NM_CUSTOMDRAW) to draw the entire contents of a ListView SubItem (in Report/Details view), it would be nice to be able to apply the same left and right
padding in my custom paint method that is applied by the control itself for non-custom-drawn items.
Is there a way to programmatically retrieve this padding value? Is it
related to the width of a particular character (" " or "w" or something?) or
is it a fixed value (6px on left and 3px on right or something) or...?
EDIT: To clarify, I want to add the same padding to my NM_CUSTOMDRAWn SubItems that the control adds to items that it draws, and the metric that I'm looking for, for example, is the white space between the beginning of the 2nd column and the word "Siamese" in the following screenshot (Note: screenshot from MSDN added to help explain my question):
(source: microsoft.com)
Note that the word "Siamese" is aligned with the header item ("Breed"). I would like to be able to guarantee the same alignment for custom-drawn items.
use ListView Header message HDM_GETBITMAPMARGIN
see link text
ListView_GetSubItemRect (LVM_GETSUBITEMTECT)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms930172.aspx
Despite what the documentation says I suspect LVIR_LABEL returns just the returns the bounding rectangle of the item text, as per ListView_GetItemRect.
(This just kept niggling me as I though I had actually seen an answer somewhere when playing with NM_CUSTOMDRAW).
Edit After Comment 2:
I imagine you have seen NMLVCUSTOMDRAW which if you are willing to use Version 6.0. has rcText. I wouldn't since I use Win2K.
Given what you have found I would go back to the suggestion of using
ListView_GetItemRect to get LVIR_LABEL and compare that with LVIR_BOUNDS and use the difference.
the way for doing this is retrieving the format of the corresponding column with
ListView_GetColumn()
then check the retrieved myLVCOLUMN.mask
LVCOLUMN myLVCOLUMN;
myLVCOLUMN.mask=LVCF_FMT;
ListView_GetColumn(hwnd,nCol,&myLVCOLUMN);
then when we draw the corresponding label belonging to that column
if(myLVCOLUMN.fmt & LVCFMT_CENTER)
DrawText(x,x,x,x, DT_CENTER | DT_WORD_ELLIPSIS );
else if (myLVCOLUMN.fmt & LVCFMT_RIGHT)
DrawText(x,x,x,x, DT_RIGHT | DT_WORD_ELLIPSIS );
else
DrawText(x,x,x,x, DT_LEFT | DT_WORD_ELLIPSIS );
I would assume that GetSystemMetrics() is that you need to look at. I think that SM_CXEDGE and SM_CYEDGE are probably the values you want, but don't quote me on that. ;-)
Can only guess without seeing your output.
A few suggestions: If you are using the DrawTextEx function, have you have experimented with DT_INTERNAL et al?
Are you accidentally putting in a blank image/icon.
Does it look ok in classic screen mode? If so I would look at XP Theme functions to see if some thing is going on.
Late edit after first comment:
I wonder if the size of rectangle matches the space required for the LVN_ENDLABELEDIT edit box around the text so the text doesn't move (or for a focus rectangle)?
I guess you could compare the result of LVM_GETITEMRECT with LVIR_LABEL on the first column and use the difference as your left border.
