jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hello.

I also have this problem of resizing. I set "shrinkToFit" to false and I called setGridWidth with second parameter = "false". All the columns in colModel have the "width" parameter set. After the resizing of the grid, all the columns are resized too, acording to the new grid size.

The thing that I want to do is to resize the grid and don't resize the columns, so that the horizontal scrollbar appears, and user may scroll and view the full contents of the cells.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards

Hello,

Thanks. If I look into the code right now - there is a really problem with this.

Let me to try to correct this.

Hi , did you managed to resolve the issue or find a workaround ? I was needing this feature for a work project.

Hi, I put this matter aside for some time, waiting for some fix. Well, it has not come out yet and I needed the feature. So, I digged in the code and debugged it to try to find the problem.

The problem seems to be in the setGridWidth function. I think the code that has “the problem” is:

[code]

cw = shrink !== true ? $(”tr:first th:eq(”+i+”)”,$t.grid.hDiv).css(”width”) : this.width;
                    w = Math.floor((IENum(nwidth)-IENum(testdata[2]))/IENum(testdata[0])*IENum(cw));
                    chw += w;

[/code]

The variable cw seems to be some kind of additional value used when computing the width of the resized column, and if shrik parameter is false, it takes the value from the declared column  width.

The problem is the line

[code] w = Math.floor((IENum(nwidth)-IENum(testdata[2]))/IENum(testdata[0])*IENum(cw)); [/code]

, that computes w to be the resized column  width, using the above cw as “parameter” value. Even if the testdata[2]  variable is set to be 0 when shrink is false, the value w that later is used to set the column width gets an altered value from the original.

So I modified the above code to be :

[code]

cw = shrink !== true ? $(”tr:first th:eq(”+i+”)”,$t.grid.hDiv).css(”width”) : this.width;
                    w = 0;
                    if(shrink == true)
                    {
                        w = Math.floor((IENum(nwidth)-IENum(testdata[2]))/IENum(testdata[0])*IENum(cw));
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        w = IENum(cw);
                    }

[/code]

This way w always gets the original column width, and the column width is not altered.

I think the testdata variable has something to do with the above calculations, but I didn't looked further into this problem. The above modifications solved my issue. The “bad” part is that if you want to modify you have to used the unpacked .js files, or modify it and then repack it again (I don't know how to do that).

I don't claim that the modification that I made solves the issue of shrinkToFit, it is just a minor adjustment that I made so the column width remains the same.
