Title: Edit default width of column in grid
Post by David Waldmann on 03/06/14 at 13:54:04

The VOUCHERS grid (when entering AP Vouchers, while in Number field, lookup) has too narrow a column width to show the entire Number. You can drag it wider, but it's a real pain to do it every time. User setting does not save it.

SU-A does not seem to have provision to change it. Yes, there is a Width field, but it doesn't do a thing. Make it 1, make it 99 (the highest number allowed), it still shows only about 7 characters.

Any way to make this wider by default?

BTW, it does work on the other fields in the same grid, but the Number field is different than the rest - not a direct database field.

David, the size field does work, but it needs a Type field to base it on, so If you edit the VOUCHERS grid and make the type A (for Alpha) then 25 will be enough to display the full long voucher number. It has to convert Fonts to pixels and needs a type to do that with, I guess 1 and W are different widths so that was what you were missing. (or I guess i was missing originally when the grid was created) ;)
