Dynamically hide columns in hiCreateReportField

archive

   Is there a way to dynamically hide columns in a report field? I have a reportField with multiple columns of data. The user wants to be able to hide columns and re-display columns at will. I know that you can stretch the column width until you can't see it anymore but this is not a clean approach to the problem. Once a column width has been stretched to nothing, the user has to remember the location of the column in order to stretch it back. I have tried changing the column width in the "headers" attribute on the report field, but the field itself never changes. I'd rather not delete the field and recreate it, but that may be my only option.

Any ideas?

  • I simple way is to use command line tool called awk.
    Save the result file into a file. be SURE to put a large enough "column width" : 3000 for instance (/!\ default is 80 often not enough).
    then type un your favorite shell :
    cat file.txt |awk '{print($1 $3)}'
    that will print column 1 and 3

    cat file.txt |awk '{print("column1" $1 "column 4" $4)}'
    if you want to insert text "column1" and "column 4" inbetween... and many other possibilities (search on the web)

    Its not very clean, but very handy

  • Maybe I wasn't very clear in my first post. I am referring to the hiCreateReportField in Skill code. If I create a form that contains a report field (created with hiCreateReportField), I would like to dynamically update the field in the form to hide or redisplay a column of my choosing. If I change the "headers" attribute on an exisiting reportField on a form, the column widths DO NOT change.

    I have no idea what awk and shells have to do with this.
