All,
I have a table with three rows, and within each row I have a DataList that
is set to use 3 columns. The problem I'm having is that each DataList sets
it's columns to be different widths so when the user is looking at the data,
the columns move back and forth among the DataLists. I don't know how well
this will appear in text, but it looks something like:
XXX XXXXX XXXXX
XXX XXXX XXXXX
XXX XXXXX XXXX
Where it should look like:
XXX XXXXX XXXXX
XXX XXXXX XXXXX
XXX XXXXX XXXXX
What I need is to be able to tell each DataList to make it's columns a fixed
width so that all three datalist have the same column sizes. I can't put all
of the data into a single datalist because I need to have a unique header
above each datalist.
Is this possible? Or am I going about this the wrong way?
Thanks for any info!

There is no way to force the browser to show 3 different tables with the
same column width. You don't have full control over column widths, the
browser considers your instructions as recommendations . You have to put all
the datalists inside the same table and solve the header problem. You might
want to merge 3 datasources in 1 with header records in between, then in
ItemDataBound event catch the header records and format them differently.

I read that if one uses "table-layout:fixed"
then table rendering is speeded by setting row height. All my rows
are 285 px high.
1) Is this true?
2) If true, how does one set row-height for the table,
preferable with a CSS style?
Thanks, CMA

I have a combo box on a form which is based on table tblMachine. On that
combo box I have four columns visible MachineNumber, description, location

number. My problem is if the user doesn't know the number. I have a button

Hi,
I am working on an existing code base in which a lot of data displayed
to the user is formatted in tables. Most tables are printed row-by-row
using printf() with "%s" print conversion specification for
each column (e.g. printf(%10s %25s %15s\n", pszCol1, pszCol2,
pszCol3)). My problem is that when a string is longer the column's
width, it overflows the column and takes the table out of alignment.
What I want it to do is word-wrap...

I'm trying to set the column widths for a datagrid. You'd think it
would be easy. I looked it up in google and the first thing I found
looked promising:
datagrid1.columns(0).width = 2000
datagrid1.columns(1).width = 1000
Except that there is no such things as a columns collection in a
datagrid.

Hello,
I have a one datagrid that will be based on different datatables. One
datatable may have 7 columns, another 15... With the tables that have more
columns, I have been manually dragging column widths to narrow them. I want
to record these widths so I can reapply them when I bind the datagrid to the
table with 15 columns. I have searched around for articles on this and saw
some that talked about...

I'm setting the column with for a gridview (25+- columns) and have
paging turned on.
When the gridview is first displayed, the column widths are all set to
the default. But after paging to another page, the widths are set as
they should be.
Going back to page one, the widths are still correct.
Not a clue what's going on here!

Hi. I have an Access database with a form containing 4 datasheets and I
allow the user to change column widths. On closing the form, a routine
is fired that saves each column width to an INI file.
When the form is opened, the INI file is read and sets up the column
widths for the user.
Works well, but there is a slight delay on closing the form, so I would
like to detect if any column widths have been changed and save them
only if...

I am wondering what is considered a best practice for setting column widths
to fit the data for a DataGridView (.Net 2.0) that was created on-the-fly
from an arbitrary query. What I would probably do is scan the width of each
column for the first couple hundred or so rows and find the largest. (But how
does one convert character counts to field widths in pixels?)
More generally, however, is there a better approach to accomplish this?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
