Auto adjust Grid

Posted on February 26, 2013

If you have a Grid within a Panel or Window class and the Grid will not be automatically adjusted, you will have to check the complete widget hierarchy for valid LayoutManagers. All parent widgets of the Grid must use the layout sytem. Then we can use

  grid.getView().setAutoFill(true);
  grid.getView().setForceFit(true);

The parent Panel or Window should define an minimal height and width.

  window.setLayout(new FitLayout());
  window.setMinWidth(500);
  window.setMinHeight(400);

Every resize operation on the Panel/Window should resize the Grid too. If you forget the layout on the window or its panels, the grid will not be displayed till you set a height and width explicitly.
