suggestions for reteset grid ex

I have a key question targeted to the great Reteset:

I was testing the demo for this plugin, and I was reading first of all the detailed help ( good work certainly ) you provided in the zip file...I cant see in the help any sort of GridEx.SetProperties and some parameter like "HideIDNumberRow" -only for hiding not disabled logically-...It would be cool to use for example: create a download resume windows with the sub-objetc progress inside GridEx without the number column ( regardless if the has numbers or not ) and leee visible all fields ( example; name file, status download, size, destination...). I think is ugly to see useless column number if you dont plan to use it for ...It is posible in some future update to do this?

More suggestions apart I said earlier:

1- GridEx.SetProperties ( only position, visibility, and anything you think cool )
2- GridEx.Getproperties
3- GridEx.SetVisible ( true -false )
4- GridEx.IsVisible ( true -false )
5- GridEx.SetPos ( true -false ) inside windows to move placing or anything
6- GridEx.GetPos ( true -false )
7- GridEx.HideRowIDNumber ( nameobject, RowIDNumber, true or false)
8- GridEx.HideIDColumn ( nameobject, namecolumn, true or false)

I think this plugin beat in all modes to ListboxEx and I think there is alot work made for this plugin Bravo!

3- GridEx.SetVisible ( true -false )
4- GridEx.IsVisible ( true -false )
5- GridEx.SetPos ( true -false ) inside windows to move placing or anything
6- GridEx.GetPos ( true -false )

for that you would use: (as all other plugins do)
Plugin.SetVisible
Plugin.IsVisible
Plugin.SetPos
Plugin.GetPos

oh f*ck I forgot the plugin actions lol ...I catn edit my old post :( well at least I will wait to Reteset to know what think about the item 7 and 8 from the list...

if you want to hide a fixed column , you can use

GridEx.SetSH_ColWidth("Plugin1", -1, 0);

if you want to hile all fixed columns , you can use

GridEx.SetSH_Width("Plugin1", 0);

if you want to hide a fixed row ,you can use

GridEx.SetTH_RowHeight("Plugin1", -1, 0);

if you want to hide all fixed rows , you can use

GridEx.SetTH_Height("Plugin1", 0);

where the -1 defines index of fixed row or column
fixed column and row indexes are counting to negative side

side and top headings (aka : fixed) are actually seperate grid windows
their initial visibility is not a missing feature or bug , but if you want to show or hide or modify them then you can do it with the provided functions
so , all normal grid actions apply to fixed columns or rows

here is an old sample project that i ported to GridEx & AMS-8 now
this sample project shows how to hide left fixed column and how to hide some rows with Expand cell type

[autoplmst6]

mmmm maybe I have not explained you correctly... I mean to hide or not the column where checkboxes are located ( If you see from the pic sample for progresstree )Anyway I will test those funcions you posted earlier I did't know that it can be done in those ways

[reteset]

checkbox column is not a fixed column
that column there because i added

if you do not want to show that column then you can join it to Expand cell (details..)
after made some changes in sample project

[autoplmst6]

Forgot this thread doh, reteset thanks for the info code you explained sorry for late reply

Does anyone know how to adjust row height for multi-line cells.

I need the row height to adjust automatically to fit all the text in a multi-line cell.

Also i am having problems with printing. Need the document to scale down to A4 size paper.

Any Suggestions would be appreciated.

Does anyone know how to adjust row height for multi-line cells.
.

this action sets the height of a row

GridEx.SetRowHeight("Plugin1", 0, 100);

I need the row height to adjust automatically to fit all the text in a multi-line cell.

currently GridEx does not adjust row height automatically , there was a AutoSize cell type but it is not included to this version due to unexpected behaviours of that cell type
maybe i can add that cell type at next version

Also i am having problems with printing. Need the document to scale down to A4 size paper.

i did not understand very well but , Plugin will split grid in to papers if it does not fit into paper

if the view of grid closer to A4 paper then , you can automatically scale down grid by setting a smaller font before printing the grid

On Setup :

def_font = GridEx.AddFont("Plugin1", "comic sans ms", 11, FW_THIN, false, false, false);
print_font = GridEx.AddFont("Plugin1", "comic sans ms", 5, FW_THIN, false, false, false);
GridEx.SetDefaultFont("Plugin1", def_font);

Print Button :

GridEx.SetDefaultFont("Plugin1", print_font);

GridEx.Print("Plugin1", 0, 0, 
			GridEx.GetNumberCols("Plugin1")-1,
			GridEx.GetNumberRows("Plugin1")-1
			);
			
GridEx.SetDefaultFont("Plugin1", def_font);

you might need to adjust row and column sizes as well
