Re : Auto size of table

[OnlyOne]

Hello,
is there a property to automatically change the size of the columns in a table?
As you can see in the attached vi there is text in column 1 which is not completely visible.
Can this be resized with a property?

Thx for the help

Use the Cell Size property for that particular column.

To my knowledge, there is no automatic solution to adapt the column width to the cell contents.

You can change programmatically the column width using the active cell/cell size property node.

Finding the right width is another story, since it depends on the font used. There is a graphic function in the Picture palette that get the size of a string : Get Text Rect. You could use it in combination with the cell size PN, assuming that you don't use fancy text attributes.

Hi chilly charly,
this is what i am looking for. Perfect work.
What do i have to change so that there is a reference as input? I want to use this via as an subvi but i only have the reference to the table and not the tabel itself.
Thx again.

OK. Here are the modifications. BTW, it was not necessary to wire the For loop N input. Rube Golberd code ?

Enjoy.

Hi CC,

is the cellfont property something that got introduced after 8.x? I can't find it in 7.0... and if it was available in 7.1 it would solve the problem here.
