String size for grid

Hi,

Anyone knows how to extend size/number characters for fieldtype STRING at grids?. default size is limited to 16 characters.

Thanks!

I Don't see this restriction. I tired with "->colWidth = 25" and it worked fine (in 16.6).

If I set colWidth to 25, the field only widens but number of characters is still restricted to 16. I am not sure, but is thier something to do with the fieldType? the fieldType that I use is "STRING.

You want the fieldLength parameter of the formGridCol defstruct used with axlFormGridInsertCol.
Example (for more complete example see <cdsroot>/share/pcb/examples/skill/form/grid) :
p = make_formGridCol()
p->fieldType = 'STRING
p->colWidth = 0 ; autosize visible column width
p->fieldLength = 32 ; maximum length of string permitted
axlFormGridInsertCol(fw "grid" p)
