Facility Control

Hey All:

Wondering if anyone has found a way to set the alignment of text in the columns of a table created via param. I have 2 columns of text (name and ID) and would like the name column to be left justified and the ID column to be centered.

Thanks!

Are these editable fields or read-only?

Read only.

For read-only, it is easy to append style information to the end of your value for each row:

<abs contexttype="opengear">
   <meta>
      <params>
         <param access="1" constrainttype="STRING_CHOICE" name="Table" oid="params.table" precision="0" type="INT16" value="-1" widget="table">
            <constraint>col1</constraint>
            <constraint>col2</constraint>
         </param>
         <param access="1" maxlength="0" name="Col 1" oid="col1" precision="0" type="STRING_ARRAY" widget="label">
            <value>Value One&lt;style:col1style&gt;</value>
            <value>Value Two&lt;style:col1style&gt;</value>
            <value>Value Three&lt;style:col1style&gt;</value>
            <value>Value Four&lt;style:col1style&gt;</value>
            <value>Value Five&lt;style:col1style&gt;</value>
         </param>
         <param access="1" maxlength="0" name="Col 2" oid="col2" precision="0" type="STRING_ARRAY" widget="label">
            <value>Another Value One&lt;style:col2style&gt;</value>
            <value>Another Value Two&lt;style:col2style&gt;</value>
            <value>Another Value Three&lt;style:col2style&gt;</value>
            <value>Another Value Four&lt;style:col2style&gt;</value>
            <value>Another Value Five&lt;style:col2style&gt;</value>
         </param>
      </params>
      <style id="col1style" value="txt-align:west;"/>
      <style id="col2style" value="txt-align:center;"/>
   </meta>
   <param expand="true" height="250" left="15" oid="params.table" showlabel="false" top="18" width="341"/>
</abs>

If you want to do read/write, you would be best-served by switching to a 'script table' where you can specify different styles for each cell independent of the value.

Thanks James...I buried the lead quite a bit on the nature of my table. It's pulling data from a STRUCT:

<param access="1" constrainttype="STRUCT" name="My Struct Definition" oid="mystruct_def" structtype="mystruct_def" type="STRUCT" widget="table">
<value>
<subparam access="0" maxlength="-1" name="NAME" suboid="mystruct_name" type="STRING" value=" " widget="default"/>
<subparam access="1" constrainttype="INT_NULL" name="ID" precision="0" suboid="mystruct_id" type="INT16" value="0" widget="default"/>
</value>
</param>

Is it still possible to set the text alignment in this case?

#DashBoard

Same deal. As long as the String value of the parameter looks like "TEXT TO DISPLAY ", you can add any style information you want to a cell.

Cool! I'll play with it. Thanks!
