Amend column size on NominalGridLookup

SOLVED
Posted By

Hi all,

I want to amend the grid inside a dropdown programmatically so the Name column is wide as soon at the form open.

But I am unable to get the grid inside it because its control is PopupTextBox+Dropdown which I cannot initiate in the code. Also the Dropdown class inside PopupTextBox is an internal class. 

Is there any way to do this?

    Yeah.  The easiest way to deal with this is to just increase the width of the drop-down; the 'Name' column is set to auto-size so it will stretch to fill the increased width.

    Just get hold of the NominalGridLookup in the usual way and add a handler to PopupOpened:

    private void NominalGridLookup_PopupOpened(object sender, Sage.Common.Controls.PopupOpenedEventArgs args)
{
    if(args.Form != null)
    {
        args.Form.Width = 700;               
    }
}

     If you really want to manipulate the columns then you can get at the list inside the drop-down form like this:

     var list = args.Form.Controls[0] as Sage.ObjectStore.Controls.List;

    ..and then you can get at the Columns collection of the List.
