Re: Anchor column for a static control

Hello,

Windev 22, Table Control

I display a set of records in a table and created a break in the table to display, totals for the break. In the break footer, I display the total(s) for the required field(s) in the required format. I set the correct field name in the 'Anchor according to column' option in the properties of the total column [ Image file where I set this option is attached ]. Everything works fine, no issues.

When I open the project after some time, say a week or two, and make changes in other windows [ not the above set of windows ], I set the option set in 'Anchor according to column' modified to <None>. This happened in almost all of the tables where I set this option. Sure that I didn't make any changes in those windows, not even opened it. I found that those total displayed in an unwanted place made me to check this option in the window, where I found that this option is reverted to <None>.

I don't know when and how this got changed and that too in almost all of the windows. And this happened for the third time, I could not understand how this is getting changed. Every time I start correcting by selecting the right option and in a week or two, I could see that this option is getting reverted in almost all of the windows.

With no modifications done, not even opened, what could be causing this issue Am I doing something wrong? I could not understand why this is happening. And modifying every possible window, which is currently 12 and increasing, every time is a nightmare.

Anyone facing such an issue and any remedies found so far?

Hi Sivakprakash,

I'd say that this is, uhm, a bug. Please report to Tech Support. This will not cure your problem, of course. I recommend to fix that by using a line of code instead. Try to put it in "Whenever resizing the column ..."

Kind regards,

Thanks Guenter,

Could you detail, how (&what) to write the line of code?

I could see an event named "Resizing the <COLUMNNAME> column, in the code event of that particular column. And I think you mean that only by "whenever resizing the column".

I could not imagine what to write to move the position of the total column, for the corresponding column. Any help?

Hi, I don't know for sure either but before starting to identify Windows events, I'd try to put something like that

StaticYours..x = TableName.ColumnName..x
