B4J Question TableView set height

[andrewmp]

Can someone tell me how to set TableView height at runtime ? Thanks

TableView.PrefHeight

 

[andrewmp]

Thanks but I tried it , it has no effect

 

[keirS]

What are you trying to achieve? In most cases using the anchors in the designer will enable you to resize your tableview to fit your layout.

 

[andrewmp]

I am maximising screen at runtime and need to set TableView ht

See attached zip it illustrates the problem , TableView1 ht is always ht of layout 2 if anchor up/down selected or does not change size if anchor only up, either way no control of ht at runtime.

Seems I must abandon layouts to make this work (hope not)

 

[andrewmp]

No, that's exactly where it is, in MainForm_Resize ...

Also tried SetSize (no effect)

I suggest to create a Panel, load the tableview into this panel using a design with correctly set Anchors.
Change the panels position or size at runtime.

 

[andrewmp]

Nope still does not work, even with anchors to the panel (panel is parent)

You are not using anchors correctly.

See the attached project.

 

[andrewmp]

You are right, I had not noticed. Thanks for the help

BTW, you will never see new code of mine based on TableView. There are nicer cross platform options such as B4XTable or FlexibleTable.

 

[andrewmp]

Did not know about FlexibleTable, your note I think exemplifies a problem for newer users, it is almost impossibile to find the list of latest internal libraries (I cant find the link anymore) - it would be nice if it was on the main page somewhere clearly visibile... Thanks
