Specifying properties of a grid DataWindow object

In grid DataWindow objects, you can specify:

  • When grid lines are displayed

  • How users can interact with the DataWindow object at
    runtime

To specify basic grid DataWindow object properties

  1. Position the mouse pointer on the background in a grid
    DataWindow object, display the pop-up menu, and select
    Properties.

  2. Select the options you want in the Grid section on the
    General page in the Properties view as described in the following
    table.

    Option

    Result

    On

    Grid lines always display

    Off

    Grid lines never display (users cannot resize
    columns at runtime)

    Display Only

    Grid lines display only when the DataWindow
    object displays online

    Print Only

    Grid lines display only when the contents of
    the DataWindow object are printed

    Column Moving

    Columns can be moved at
    runtime

    Mouse Selection

    Data can be selected at runtime (and, for
    example, copied to the clipboard)

    Row Resize

    Rows can be resized at runtime

    Width.AutoSize

    The AutoWidth property takes one of these
    numeric values:

    • 0 – No AutoWidth: This is the default
      value.

    • 1 – AutoWidth is computed for visible rows
      (monotonic) and does not decrease when the widest
      column is reduced when scrolling.

    • 2 – AutoWidth is computed for visible rows
      (non-monotonic).

    • 3 – AutoWidth is computed for all retrieved
      rows.

    You can set the AutoWidth
    property:

    • In the painter – in the Properties view,
      select one of the values in the drop-down list for
      the AutoWidth property.

    • In scripts – set the AutoWidth property to one
      of the numeric values.
