Column Widths with grouping bands and fixed table-layout
posted
Dear all. I have grid with grouping bands, and use DisplayLayout.TableLayout = Fixed (it is necessary to draw ellipsis on text overflow).

What I need : grid should take 100% width and it should be possible to resize each column (and set their width in pixel or percent).

Setting grid.Width to 100% causes every column grow in width to take available space (just as it is defined in specification for table-layout: fixed). But is causes the column with '+' signs (used for expanding child bands) grow and indentation of child rows becomes wider than it should be.

I've added empty dummy column to the top-level band and tried to set its width to 1) Unit.Empty and 2) Unit.Percentage(100). The variant 1) as I suppose should tell browser to expand only this column, but it doesn't work that way. Variant 2) is a little bit better - until we resize any column - immediately after resizing ALL the columns are expanded, causing the described above ugly look.

As I found, the width of the dummy column is set to some particular value in pixels - by Infra scripts, I guess.

Summing it up - is there any way to make the column 'fluid' OR/AND fix the width of the column (set it to 20 px, for example).
Any ideas?

    Important notice:

    The width of all columns is set to percents.

    I found the method "function igtbl_lineupHeaders(colId,band)" in ig_webGrid.js, called on mouse down on row header (to resize the column). It has some condition check of column width set to percents and it causes columns to resize.
