Is it possible to change the width of a column in a grid component via javascript ? I'm trying to change the width of the 9th (last) column of a grid so its zero and have the others (that are auto width) dynamically change their width accordingly. Thanks

Hi Bob,

Sure, please use the following code:pre$("[name=mobilegridcellName]").width(value);/preWhere 'mobilegridcellName' is a grid cell name,
'value' is a new width value in pixels.

Worked perfectly. Thank you.

Hi,

I have tried both of the below and both alerts are giving me the original value of 83, so not changing it. What am I doing wrong?

Have tried....

alert($(this).find("[name=mobilegridcell_255]").width());
$(this).find("[name=mobilegridcell_255]").width("1");
alert($(this).find("[name=mobilegridcell_255]").width());

and .......

alert($(this).find("[name=mobilegridcell_255]").width());
$(this).find("[name=mobilegridcell_255]").width(1);
alert($(this).find("[name=mobilegridcell_255]").width());

Hello Aeneas,

Second variant looks right, you don't need to use quotes for width value, as you do in first variant
prealert($(this).find("[name=mobilegridcell_255]").width());
$(this).find("[name=mobilegridcell_255]").width(1);
alert($(this).find("[name=mobilegridcell_255]").width());/pre
Could you please clarify do you have any errors in console?

I am running it from the phone app tester. How do I find errors? The event that is firing this code is a swipe left as I want to give the impression that the columns are moving to the side.

Hello!

Try using Weinre debugger http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...

When I type below into the debugger when app is running null is returned.

$(this).find("[name=mobilegridcell_255]").width()

What is it I'm looking for?

I have also tried

var gridcell2=$(this).find("[name=mobilegridcell_271]");
try{
gridcell2.width(50);
alert(gridcell2.width());}
catch(err){
alert(err.message);
}

I get no error but the alert shows original size of 1. It doesn't change to 50 width?

Aeneas,

Could you please share your app with support and tell us its name?
