SmartClient ListGrid - Overflow Columns - UI Design Implementation Question

[Sin]

Hi,

We are using SmartClient 10.0 and we have a UI design (see attached image) that we are testing to see if it could be implemented using the SmartClient ListGrid.

Basically our scenario is this:

• Let’s assume for the moment that the width of the design is fixed.
• As the user configures the grid to show more columns than could fit, we don’t want to keep adding columns at the end of the grid because we are trying to avoid a horizontal scroll bar from appearing.
• Instead, we want to show them stacked in a tabular way as highlighted in red (see attached image).

Is this possible to do using the SmartClient ListGrid? We think we could customize this behavior using record components or expansion modes but thought we should check with you first before trying anything custom.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

P.S.: This is my first post on the forums under my company’s support contract so please let me know if I should provide any more detail for future posts.

recordComponents is a good way to do this. Be sure to use recordComponentPoolingMode:"recycle" if you intend to do this for a relatively large dataset. The particular area you have highlighted in red is probably best addressed as a DynamicForm with canEdit:false (so all fields are rendered read-only).

Also, thanks for checking in about what information you might need to post. In general, we prefer to see your full version on every post - technically, here, your major version was enough since you are asking a how-to. But with any kind of issue report, we need to know the full version including the build date.
