I have a grid inside a component which has some rows and columns. The problem is that there is some empty space after the last row of the grid and I want to get rid of it. This is what it looks like in the inspector, it actually shows that the whole content is the grid, whereas only the rows with actual information are the content of the grid. I want to remove this white space which is there for no reason. For clarification this is the empty unwanted space:
You could use setHeightByRows to set the Grid to contain a fixed amount of rows, or setHeightUndefined to always show all the rows (bad idea if your Grid ever has massive amounts of data in it).

In HTML tables that are wider than the viewport, text is wrapped, so the table may fit after all. To force all fields on a single line (and possibly extend outside the viewing area) I use 'white-space: nowrap' for all TDs in the table.
This is just fine for most of my tables, but in one scenario this does not work very well. I have a table with 20 columns or so with terse column headings and content, except one, which is a description field of 256 characters maximum. Using 'nowrap' is quite right for all columns, but the description column is now a very wide column indeed.
Is there a (CSS) way to specify that fields should be as small as possible (no min-width), keep on one line (nowrap), except when longer than some maximum field width (max-with: 250px). It would be nice if it could be applied to all TDs, where a reduction of the maximum width would start other fields wrapping as well.
I have a series of buttons that I want to appear in columns at the bottom of my QML page. The number of columns across should depend on the width of the window, as the window width increases I want more columns to be added. (And fewer rows as a result as components are pulled up to the previous line)
This is sort of like a Flow component, but I want the items to appear in columns, evenly spaced across the page, in rows and columns (columns centered vertically, at the bottom of the page). Sort of like GridLayout.
I can't figure out what QML component(s) to use to achieve this.
I think what you're looking for is a GridView. See the layout documentation.
I'm not positive, but based on your description I think you would just need to set the flow property to GridView.FlowTopToBottom.
So basically, I have a react app and I am trying to create a grid of square elements but:
i dont want to
shrink them below a certain size (meaning that when the page
shrinks, the last elements on a row are pushed to the next row
etc.).
I was also hoping to put in a few special 2x2 elements in the grid (realistically not
many, between 1-3)
I am looking to be able input a series of objects (ordered by priority) and have the page dynamically allocate them into the grid space as best it can.
I have done bootstrap grids in the past, 1. could be achieved fairly easily by changing the .col-x value at certain screen widths so the elements wrap
But 2. seems really hard:
making a static row with a 2x2 element and some 1x1 elements seems
easy, but then it will all break when the above row tries to wrap, or
when i have to wrap elements in this static row.
I was also thinking of offsetting 2 consecutive rows and just placing a div with the 2x2 boxes over the offset, but then i would have to change the row elements that are being offset on the fly, and i dont know how to get an element to tell me what row and column it is in.
Any ideas?
I have a tr with td's containing inputs. I'm not applying any size attribute or style with regard to width.
Some inputs contain just single digits and some contain words. The ones containing single digits have much extra white space and the ones containing words contain far less.
When I resize the page containing the table, the table shrinks to keep fitting 100% of the page. But, all the inputs seem to basically resize at about the same rate with no regard for which input has the most space to give up. By space, I mean the empty area in the input that does not show any data; the extra space to the right (as my inputs are left aligned).
Is there a css property that would apply to this situation to help accomplish reducing the size of the inputs which have the most white space to give up first and putting off truncating visible text as long as possible?
You could try auto sizing the inputs using a script like this:

Anyways, the script is not for drop downs so far, but could be adapted.
But: If in the first line there is a 1 and in the second a 11 then the inputs would have different sizes.
I'm trying to create a BIRT report. The code and query side of it works just fine, but the display is rather wonky.
There's one column whose text contents are rather long, and instead of showing some text and allowing scrolling of the text (which is the behavior I'd like there), it simply shows up as a very vertically long text block; kinda ruins the report a bit. I've also tried setting the width on the column, but no dice there either. Any ideas?
Also, as an aside, how do I get the table's columns to have grid lines? I can do that on the rows, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that for the columns. If anyone has insight into that issue, it'd be appreciated.
Here's a screenshot of the issue
Here's my BIRT report XML, without headers and footers in order reduce characters
I think there is no way to use a scrollable view element inside your report, because the output by the default html-emitter is completely static (I would like to see a different answer if this should be wrong).
To your second Question about how to add a border to a column. Click into the cell of your table, click on "Border" inside the "Properties Editor" and select the borders you like to use. This should be repreated for all cells where you want to use the borders, because this configuration is not applied for a whole column but just for one cell. If you want a border for the whole column you need to setup the border for every cell in the column.
If you have already a data cell inside your table cell, you can use the outline view to select the table cell instead of the data cell:
