oddbtable width not updated
oddbtable width not updated
hi everyone
when i resize one or more columns of an existing table (filled with text-values), the total width of the table is not updated. is there any method i can call on the tableobject that forces an update of the tablewidth?
here is some code. i've made a workaround since i need the actual width of the table to position it correctly.
code:
double commonfunctions::resizetable( oddbdatabaseptr pdb, oddbobjectid tableid ){
oddbtableptr tableptr = tableid.safeopenobject( oddb::kforwrite );
unsigned int col, columns = tableptr->numcolumns();
double averagecolumnwidth = tableptr->width()/columns;
double tempwidth, sum = 0;
for( col = 0; col < columns; col++ ){
tempwidth = tableptr->columnwidth( col );
if( tempwidth >= averagecolumnwidth ){
tempwidth *= 0.7; //factor is still experimental
tableptr->setcolumnwidth( col, tempwidth );
}
sum += tempwidth;
}
tempwidth = tableptr->width(); //table width is still the same
tableptr.release();
return sum; //needs to return total width because table is not updated
}any help is appreciated.

hello martin,
try to call tableptr->recomputetableblock(true) befor line
"tempwidth = tableptr->width(); //table width is still the same".
best regards,
sergey z.
ok, that's it.
hello sergey,
thanks for the hint, it works. i am pretty sure i tried this with dwgdirect 2.5 and it didn't work. anyways, it does now.
