[2.0a1] auto-resize Grid-column problem (double-click)

[lvanderree]

In Extjs1.1 you could automatically resize the columns of a grid by double-clicking on the right-edge (splitter) of a column-header, this does not work anymore in 2.0alpha.

I don't know if this is done on purpose, but I suppose not.

Besides no real problems yet, only enjoying the improvements! (besides the conversion of my code from 1.1)

[lvanderree]

In Extjs1.1 the columns of a grid could automatically be sized with the config property autoSizeColumns, but this property does not seem to exist anymore.

However, it still is mentioned in: http://extjs.com/deploy/ext-2.0-alpha1/docs/#Ext.grid.GridPanel-configs

at maxRowsToMeasure : Boolean
If autoSizeColumns is on, maxRowsToMeasure can be used to limit the number of rows measured to get a columns size - defaults to 0 (all rows).

Is this property removed? Because it is not mentioned anymore as a property.
Or am I doing something wrong? Because it does not work anymore.

I believe autosize was removed in the new GridPanel can anyone confirm?

[lvanderree]

found out that it is done with view, like:



this.grid = new Ext.grid.EditorGridPanel({
ds: this.ds,
cm: this.cm,
view: new Ext.grid.GridView({
forceFit: true,
autoFill: true
}),
.....


which probably is nicer, but a hint in the introduction of the grid would be nice... ;)

By the way,

these two threads are two different things!

My second post is now solved I think, the documentation can be improved to make the new situation clear.

My first post however still is open and even though related to column-sized, completely different.

could you add this to the 2.x doc bugs thread? that would help. thanks.

[lvanderree]

Documentation bug is added to the doc bugs thread.

That leaves this thread open for the column-splitter double-click bug. (if that is a bug, and not a new on purpose missing feature...)

[treejanitor]

Just wondering if double-clicking a splitter to size the column to fit is no longer supported in Extjs 2.0 or an actual bug.

If you want to poke about to see which element in the GridView class to add a dblclick handler to, here is a column autosizing function you can add to the GridPanel:



autoSizeColumn: function(c) {
var w = this.view.getHeaderCell(c).firstChild.scrollWidth;
for (var i = 0, l = this.store.getCount(); i < l; i++) {
w = Math.max(w, this.view.getCell(i, c).firstChild.scrollWidth);
}
this.colModel.setColumnWidth(c, w);
return w;
}
