FastCube 2 - Set column width of measures

DaveBoltman

Hi there, I am evaluating FastCube v2.2.7 for Delphi XE7, and I'm trying to set the column width of measures persistently, so it stays the same next time the user opens the app.

I have tried adjusting the column width with the mouse at run-time and then saving the schema. But when reloading the schema, it is back to the default again.

I have also tried
<!--fonto:Lucida Console--><span style="font-family:Lucida Console"><!--/fonto--> fcxSlice.SliceFields.ItemByName.Width := 250;<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->

but there is no effect. For width of dimension fields on the Y axis, also no effect. Please help me.

Still no reply?

So while waiting, I've also looked at [post="8517"]this post[/post] :

Hi.

You can not set column width in X axis using fcsDatos.SliceFields.ItemByName.Width.
Use to set column width in X axis use fcSDatos.XAxisColWidth[ACol] (use it after fcSDatos.EndUpdate).
ACol - visible index.

However that seems to be for FastCube v1?? I cannot get fcxSlice.XAxisColWidth or fcxDBDataSet.XAxisColWidth to work. How can I set the width of a measure at design-time or programmatically at run-time?

The word "width" does not appear even once in the FastCube 2 programmers manual

Here is the solution to setting the width of a measure field (after a lot of experimentation):

(it was "self help"

fcxSlice.MeasuresContainer.Measures[fcxSlice.MeasuresContainer.MeasureFields.IndexByName['FieldName']].Width := WhatEver;
