Details page auto-reflow [message #839547]

Hi,
I'm using a UI Forms Master/Details setup.
In one of the details I have bunch of Section(s) stacked vertically.
They are mostly not expanded (to be precise: by default there's only one Expanded section).
I have two problems:

1) when I enter the details page the Expanded section is not painted correctly (it is very small and it does not display any content. In order to make it display I must manually add a Section.setExpanded(false); Section.setExpanded(true); This works even if I cycle unexpand/expand to the Section that's the complete details page.
This doesn't seem the right way to obtain the desired result. What am I missing?

2) The resulting Detail Section is only as large as needed by the enclosed Section(s), while I would like it to grab all available space.
I have been unable to find where to put this info (I am using GridLayout and I put the grabExcessOrizontalSpace to true everywhere).
Any hint would be welcome.

TiA
Mauro

Hi Mauro,

1) add an expand listener and reflow the form when it hits.
2) It is definitely a layout problem. Try to use windowbuilder to get a
wysiwyg editor

For more form details please check this article:
