How to Set Column Headings and Column Widths in List Views

Previous Next

When the list view is run in the Details view mode, a button control for each column is displayed at the top of the list view. If you click one of these buttons, the items in the list are re-ordered by the corresponding column.

Each of these button controls contains a default column prompt and has a certain default width.

To change column headings in list views:

1.For each of the column headers you want to change, determine at what level you want to do this:

Prompt column attribute (in the Definer)

List view's SQL Query

List view's Column Headings property

2.If you want to change a Prompt column attribute, make this change in the Tables and Columns definition screen in the Definer.
3.If you want to change a column heading in the list view's SQL Query, add the heading as an alias to the column name in the SELECT list of the list view's SQL Query.
4.If you want to change a column heading at the level of the list view's Column Headings property, follow the What's This contextual help in the Property Inspector for this property.

NOTE: To change columns widths in list views, follow the What's This contextual help in the Property Inspector for the Column Widths property of the list view.
