Prevent resizing first column in ListCtrl (ReportView) - winapi

I come from this
LVCFMT_FIXED_WIDTH
This format style works, but only after the first column. The first column items is always moveable. Why? Do I have missing something?
for(int i = 0; i<NUM_COLUMNS; i++)
{
m_ListCtrl.InsertColumn(i,_gszColumnLabel[i], _gnColumnFmt[i] | LVCFMT_FIXED_WIDTH, _gnColumnWidth[i], -1);
}

The first column is special for some reason:
If a column is added to a list-view control with index 0 (the leftmost column), it is always LVCFMT_LEFT. Setting other flags on column 0 does not override that alignment. Therefore if you keep inserting columns with index 0, the text in all columns are left-aligned. If you want the first column to be right-aligned or centered you can make a dummy column, then insert one or more columns with index 1 or higher and specify the alignment you require. Finally delete the dummy column.
Perhaps the dummy column trick will work in your case as well?

A problem with LVCFMT_FIXED_WIDTH is that it is not possible to change the column width programmatically either (using SetColumnWidth). If you want to set the column width after the header control construction (for example in OnSize) you have to temporarily remove the LVCFMT_FIXED_WIDTH flag.
Here is an implementation that both has a workaround for not being able to modify the first column and one for not being able to programmatically modify a column with LVCFMT_FIXED_WIDTH:
void
MyTreeeCtrl::SetFixedColumnWidth(int col, int width)
{
int colToModify = col;
// Workaround 1: Insert a dummy column to be able to modify the attributes
// of the first column.
if (col == 0)
{
InsertColumn(0, L"");
++colToModify;
}
// Workaround 2: Temporarily remove the fixed width attribute to be able to
// modify the width.
LVCOLUMN colInfo;
colInfo.mask = LVCF_FMT;
GetColumn(colToModify, &colInfo);
colInfo.fmt = colInfo.fmt & ~LVCFMT_FIXED_WIDTH;
SetColumn(colToModify, &colInfo);
// Set the column width
SetColumnWidth(colToModify, width);
// Restore the fixed width attribute
colInfo.fmt = colInfo.fmt | LVCFMT_FIXED_WIDTH;
SetColumn(colToModify, &colInfo);
// Remove the dummy column
if (col == 0)
{
DeleteColumn(0);
}
}

How to create a itext table having cells at user specified positions

I have a requirement to add images in an iText PDF table, but the position of cells (consisting of images) will depend on indexes (row and column number) given by the user. This table could also have empty cells in between if no index for any image is given.
How to add a cell in itext pdf at random position?
I looked out for this at various forums, not successful. I would really appriciate the help.
There is no API in iText's Table class to add a cell to an arbitrary position. The reasoning behind such a decision lies in iText's Table architecture: if a table has not been constructed yet (i.e. it's unknown whether there will be some cells with a rowpan and/or a colpan greater than 1), it's not feasible for iText to know whether it could place a cell at some custom position.
However, the good news is that all the layout-related code is triggered only after the table is added to the document. So, one can always do the following:
create a table
fill it with some presaved empty Cell objects
alter some Cell object as requested
add the table to the document
In the snippet above I will show, hot to add some diagonal content to the table after the cells have been added to it. The same approach could be followed for images.
int numberOfRows = 3;
int numberOfColumns = 3;
Table table = new Table(numberOfColumns);
List<List<Cell>> cells = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfRows; i++) {
List<Cell> row = new ArrayList<>();
for (int j = 0; j < numberOfColumns; j++) {
Cell cell = new Cell();
row.add(cell);
table.addCell(cell);
}
cells.add(row);
}
// Add some text diagonally
cells.get(0).get(0).add(new Paragraph("Hello"));
cells.get(1).get(1).add(new Paragraph("diagonal"));
cells.get(2).get(2).add(new Paragraph("world!"));
The resultant PDF looks as follows:

Iterate through jqGrid update every row for a column

I wish to iterate through jqGrid, and for a given column (ie: the second) I wish to insert a value. How do you find the first data row? The documentation warns to not use getRowData if updating row or cell data.
This is what I'm using, but it seems clumsy:
function loadCompleted() {
var $grid = jQuery("#jqGrid"), rows = $grid[0].rows;
for (var i = 1; i < rows.length; i++) {
var row = rows[i];
var id = row.cells[0].innerHTML;
$(row.cells[1]).html("<a href='#' onclick='deleteApp(" + id + "); return false;'>Delete</a>");
}
}
... this works, but it makes the assumption that the first data row is the second row in table #jqGrid. It also relies on index values for columns 1 and 2.
Is there any way to use setRowData when the documentation warns to not use getRowData when editing the row or cells?
The first row in grid is hidden and is used in the jqGrid for internal purposes.
I think that using a custom formatter will do the job.
Example of custom formatter can be found here. If you use Guriddo jqGid you may look into the docs for the parameters passed.

GetColumn Information and Width on Resize - Slick Grid

Am working on slick grid where am trying to get the column information like id,name and the new width of column after resize.
I wrote an event which will be triggered when user resizes the column.
grid.onColumnsResized.subscribe(function (e, args) {
//To Do
});
grid.getColumns() will help but how do i identify which column user has resized. is there a way I can get the column index of the resized column?
some start up code from here will save lot of my time
Thanks
The onColumnsResized event triggered by SlickGrid doesn't include any references to the columns which changed.
It's important to note that the width of multiple columns may have changed when this event triggers. Examples of this are:
Using the grid option forceFitColumns: true to force the columns to fit in the width of the grid
Resizing a column so small it affects the columns to its left
Two possible options for implementing this are:
Check columns after change
SlickGrid stores the previous column widths in the property named previousWidth on each column. You can compare the prevoiusWidth and width values to determine which columns changed.
grid.onColumnsResized.subscribe(function (e, args) {
//Loop through columns
for(var i = 0, totI = grid.getColumns().length; i < totI; i++){
var column = grid.getColumns()[i];
//Check if column width has changed
if (column.width != column.previousWidth){
//Found a changed column - there may be multiple so all columns must be checked
console.log('Changed column index : ' + i);
console.log(column);
}
}
});
SlickGrid resets the previousWidth values for all columns whenever a column starts being resized.
You can view an example of this approach at http://plnkr.co/edit/W42pBa2ktWKGtqNtQzii?p=preview.
Modifying SlickGrid
If you are hosting SlickGrid and are comfortable maintaining your own version then you could modify it to include column information in the args of the onColumnsResized event.
In slick.grid.js at line 860 amend the code where the event is triggered to include an array containing the indexes of changed columns. You can also include the index of the column which the user resized if this is useful. The below adds properties named changedColumnIndexes and triggeredByColumnIndex which are passed in the args of the triggered event. I've wrapped the changes for this in comments prefixed //MODIFICATION.
.bind("dragend", function (e, dd) {
var newWidth;
//MODIFICATION - Add array to capture changed column indexes and variable to capture
// the index of the column which triggered the change
var changedColumnIndexes = [];
var triggeredByColumnIndex = getColumnIndex($(this).parent()[0].id.replace(uid, ""));
//MODIFICATION END
$(this).parent().removeClass("slick-header-column-active");
for (j = 0; j < columnElements.length; j++) {
c = columns[j];
newWidth = $(columnElements[j]).outerWidth();
//MODIFICATION - Add column index to array if changed
if (c.previousWidth !== newWidth) {
changedColumnIndexes.push(j);
}
//MODIFICATION END
if (c.previousWidth !== newWidth && c.rerenderOnResize) {
invalidateAllRows();
}
}
updateCanvasWidth(true);
render();
//MODIFICATION - Amend trigger for event to include array and triggeredBy column
trigger(self.onColumnsResized, {changedColumnIndexes: changedColumnIndexes, triggeredByColumnIndex: triggeredByColumnIndex});
//MODIFICATION END
});
In your own code subscribe to the onColumnsResized event and pickup the changed column index from the args of the event.
grid.onColumnsResized.subscribe(function(e, args) {
//Triggered by column is passed in args.triggeredByColumnIndex
console.log('Change triggered by column in index : ' + args.triggeredByColumnIndex);
console.log(grid.getColumns()[args.triggeredByColumnIndex]);
//Column array is passed in args.changedColumnIndexes
console.log('Changed columns are...');
console.log(args.changedColumnIndexes);
//Loop through changed columns if necessary
for (var i = 0, totI = args.changedColumnIndexes.length; i < totI; i++){
console.log(grid.getColumns()[args.changedColumnIndexes[i]]);
}
});

Determining column changes by column.width != column.previousWidth wasn't working for me because sometimes the original and new width were different by an insignificant size (e.g. 125.001 and 125).
I used Chris C's logic and made a PR on the 6pac/SlickGrid project. Here's the commit:

Google charts column filtering

I am trying to filter a Google line chart columns and using the code shared here in Google Charts-Code for Category Filter
It all works well however I have a number of columns and would like to have the chart start with just one column displayed and allow the user to add in any of the additional columns as needed.
What I've found is that if I play with the initState variable to set it to the one column I want to display initially, it will have that column shown in the selector section but still displays all the columns initially until I select an additional column when it hides the rest and just displays the two I have selected.
So then I tried turning off this part of the code:
// put the columns into this data table (skip column 0)<br>
for (var i = 1; i < data.getNumberOfColumns(); i++) {
columnsTable.addRow([i, data.getColumnLabel(i)]);
initState.selectedValues.push(data.getColumnLabel(i));
}
and replacing it with
columnsTable.addRow([1, data.getColumnLabel(16)]);
initState.selectedValues.push(data.getColumnLabel(16));
which sets the column i'm after (column 16) as the selected column in the selection list but removes the other columns from the list of available columns and still displays all 16 columns.
How can I set this up so it displays the single selected column's data initially yet still gives the ability to pick other columns from the selector?
You want to keep the columnstable.addRow call inside the for loop, as it populates the DataTable used to provide the list of columns. You can set the selectedValue variable as you have it:
// put the columns into this data table (skip column 0)<br>
for (var i = 1; i < data.getNumberOfColumns(); i++) {
columnsTable.addRow([i, data.getColumnLabel(i)]);
}
initState.selectedValues.push(data.getColumnLabel(16));
In order to make the chart draw properly with the initial selection, we need to make a small adjustment to the structure, putting all of the updating code into its own function, and then calling that as necessary:
function setChartView () {
var state = columnFilter.getState();
var row;
var view = {
columns: [0]
};
for (var i = 0; i < state.selectedValues.length; i++) {
row = columnsTable.getFilteredRows([{column: 1, value: state.selectedValues[i]}])[0];
view.columns.push(columnsTable.getValue(row, 0));
}
// sort the indices into their original order
view.columns.sort(function (a, b) {
return (a - b);
});
chart.setView(view);
chart.draw();
}
google.visualization.events.addListener(columnFilter, 'statechange', setChartView);
setChartView();
Here's a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/asgallant/WaUu2/157/.

swt table turn off sort arrows in column header

I have the following code which allows the columns in my table to sort by ascending or descending order.
protected void setSortColumn(GridPanelColumn gridPanelColumn, TableColumn column) {
table.setRedraw(false);
// check if already selected
if (sortGridPanelColumn != null && sortGridPanelColumn == gridPanelColumn) {
// toggle sort order
sortAscending = !sortAscending;
} else {
// set new sort column
sortGridPanelColumn = gridPanelColumn;
sortAscending = false;
table.setSortColumn(column);
}
// set sort direction
table.setSortDirection(sortAscending ? SWT.UP : SWT.DOWN);
// refresh table
tableViewer.refresh();
table.setRedraw(true);
}
The only problem is that when the user clicks on the column header to sort, the arrow causes the column name to dot out (ex: Ccy..^ ) instead of (CCy1 Amount). Is there any way to turn off the showing of the arrows? I would rather not have to bother with resizing my grid columns just to accommodate for the arrows so that the dots don't form..
Any ideas on how to do this?
Simple! Just do not do
table.setSortDirection(sortAscending ? SWT.UP : SWT.DOWN);
When you call this method, you're just telling SWT which image to use. Without it, the sorting still works, but the arrows do not show.
