master page dynamic column width

Hi,

I've a grid inside the header in the master page. Based on the report parameter, how could I set the column width? Thanks.

i.e.
parameter "width" = 3 then grid's column 1 is 3cm
parameter "width" = 4 then grid's column 1 is 4cm

Thanks!

Couple of different ways.

If your just looking to set the grid width, you can use something like this in the onCreate:

if (params["NewParameter"].value)
{
this.width = "3px";
}

If you want to change the individual column widths, something like in in the onPrepare method would work:
if (params["NewParameter"].value)
{
var name = "gridToResize"; //give your grid a unique name so that findElement can find it.

var element = reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement(name);

var column = element.getColumns().get(0); //get will get column X. You will need to iterate to set all column widths
column.setStringProperty("width", "3in");
}

In both the above examples, I am only using the parameters to determine if I need to resize or not. You can just as easily grab a value from a parameter and set it in the setProperty calls.
