Hi all, I have a tableview which is shown either wide (the whole way across the screen) or narrow (about 300 pixels wide). In Servoy 3.5, a script resizing the tab-panel in which I had placed the tableview would also cause the columns the tableview to resize to make them fit the narrower view. The tableview has scrollbars set to vertical:when needed and horizontal:never. In Servoy 5.1.4, the columns simply stay the same width, chopping off anything beyond 300 pixels. How do I get around this issue? How do I set the column widths programatically? Christian ---

Still having this problem. The users are complaining they can’t resize the columns… ![:-(]( "Sad") ---

I hope I understand right because you can set the anchors property of the columns to ‘TOP,RIGHT,LEFT’! This is fitting my columns in a table view list to the window size. Hope it helps. ---

Hi Thomas, I had anchored the columns in the table view. I tried taking some of the anchoring away and I can now move some of the columns… I can swap them around, but not actually resize them… ---

In my solution I can only resize ‘LEFT,RIGHT’ anchored columns. Do you have checked the anchor property column by column (element by element)? ---

Hi Thomas, Checking LEFT and RIGHT anchor on each element restores the behaviour my users are expecting. Thank you for your help! By the way, is this documented anywhere? C. ---
