Examples

Column Widths Property Value (static)Result
No value set will auto-size each visible column.
DriveWorks Administrator the auto-size will be based on the content of the column cells.

DriveWorks Live the auto-size is set to a pre-defined value of 150px.

16Supplying a column width between 1 and 19 (inclusive); will automatically default to the minimum width of 20 for all visible columns.

50|75|25|50For all visible columns; will set column 1 to 50, column 2 to 75, column 3 to 25 and column 4 to 50. See Note Below.
Show Filler Column Property

When the total width of all displayed columns is less than the width of the control and the Show Filler Column property is True (default) a filler column will be applied to the control.

When the Show Filler Column property is False the last column will expand to fill the control regardless of the column width applied.

Hidden Fields Property

Columns removed from view by the Hidden Fields property will be ignored, when settings multiple values (as in the last example above). This behavior is consistent in DriveWorks Administrator, User and Live.

A rule can also be built for this property by changing the type to dynamic.

See How To: Change A Static Property To A Dynamic Property.
