Infuence the number of records shown in TableViews

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,

Looking at a larger recordset in TableView in the WebClient, I noticed only 8 records are shown and then you have to start clikcing to get the next and subsequent batches of 8 records.

To my knowledge it’s not possible to influence the number of maximum records shown in the Webclient, or did I miss something?

In this particular situation, I would like to show a lot more records.

Personally, I’m not too thrilled about the “paging” (as I call it) of recordsets. I think it ought to be up to the developer to decide for this or not, but I understand the need for some paging, to account for the 200 record batchsize Servoy processes.

Loading an additional 200 records when the scrolling of the user demands for it is probably something not really possible to create in a WebClient.

So, I’d prefer to be able to set the maximum number of rows on one “page”, with a Servoy implied maximum of 200.

What do others think about this area?

make your body larger, and the amount of records that will be showed, is bigger.

Mmm, you’re right. i always make the bodies of Tableview forms as high as 1 field. In the Webclient is such a situation, there are 8 records anyway. Indeed if I make the body larger, more records are shown.

Guess some of it will be smoothened out when anchors will be introduced to the WebClient in 3.1 (hopefully…)

Oh, I hope so…

Preferrably, for tableviews I’d like to have something where:

  • the Header actually sticks on top,
  • columns are resizeable and reorderable,
  • there is no paging.

Difficulty in this is a cross platform solution and the recordbatchsize of 200, but I’m sure this can be achieved somehow :-)

Have a look at http://www.activewidgets.com/general.de … -mode.html : This shows what is possible…
