I have some unit parameters for my application, which will be shown on a button press in a dialogue box. The number of parameters for each unit varies (so the number of rows is not constant), and also sometimes due to text wrapping, rows are multi-line (varies from unit to unit, and how many lines is not known beforehand).
I'd like to display this data in a table, which only displays the rows that are filled (no empty rows). There is no minimum height of the table, but maximum is 252 pixels. If the length of the table (due to number of rows or height of multiline rows) is above 252, I'd like to display a vertical scrollbar, otherwise not.
What works:
- Showing data in a table in a dialogue box
- Changing the number of rows of the table according to the data
- Adding a vertical scrollbar based on number of rows
- Limiting the size of the table to 252 pixels
The problem:
- Multiline rows can make the data in the table arbitrarily longer than 252 pixels, without triggering the vertical toolbar due to a low number of rows.
I was thinking I could let the table autosize to the data, and then if height is over 252 then add a vertical toolbar and readjust it programatically to 252, but I can't find a way to get the table to autosize to the data.
Any ideas?
