Android Question B4XTable hidden column - SOLVED #7

[nibbo]

Hi

Is there a way to set the visibility of a B4XTable column?
I have found some examples of 'hiding' columns but they just seem to be deleting it; I want the column to exist but not be visible.
Saw another example that suggested setting the Width to zero but it seems to always be set to zero and explicitly setting it did not help.
CalculatedWidth seems to have a value but setting that to zero has no effect either.

Many thanks

You can change column width to 1 dip..

You can hide it and still able to access the map values.

B4XTable1.SetData(Data)
B4XTable1.VisibleColumns.RemoveAt(B4XTable1.VisibleColumns.IndexOf(HiddenColumn))
B4XTable1.Refresh

Thanks but I don't want to remove it I just want to hide it.

Thanks; I did find that suggestion but it does not seem to work.

    Log("Before > Width: " & IDColumn.Width)
    IDColumn.Width = 1dip
    Log("After > Width: " & IDColumn.Width)

Before > Width: 0
After > Width: 0

But the column is still visible.

                Dim cc As B4XTableColumn=B4XTable1.visibleColumns.Get(k)  'where k your column..
                cc.Width=1

You can have an array with last width had.... if you check here... you will find more things...

last width save at array...

Dim cc As B4XTableColumn=B4XTable1.visibleColumns.Get(k)
lastcolwidth(k)=cc.Width   'k is your column, lastcolwidth() an integer array

I may misinterpreted your requirements. My understanding is the code doesn’t remove the column but exclude it from the list of showing columns.

Also....
don't forget... this:

            Sleep(0)
            B4XTable1.Refresh

Hopefully, @Magma or @aeric took care of your problem, but If you are still looking for a solutio, see my code (it works) in post #5 or Jeffrey's code in post #8 in this thread link:

[SOLVED] B4XTable Dynamically Show/Hide Column

I'm having issues showing/hiding a table column after the table has been filled (and yes, I have looked at the examples here and I can replicate this issue using the B4XTableExample program). I've attached a small test program for convenience but the images below will illustrate. Before hiding...

                Dim cc As B4XTableColumn=B4XTable1.visibleColumns.Get(k)  'where k your column..
                cc.Width=1

Thanks Magma, that is exactly what I was after
