Dynamic gallery width

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by JK2020

Hello,

Need my gallery width (and the X of the buttons inside it) adjusted dynamically based on the gallery item with the longest name, to avoid names be clipped like this:

Annotation 2020-03-24 210420.jpg

Expected:

Annotation 2020-03-24 210655.jpg

The items are filtered dynamically so if the record with long name is not there, I'd expect:

Annotation 2020-03-24 214027.jpg

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi @JK2020 ,
Yes you can do it - a bit of mathematics involved. your Gallery Width
Max(Len(YourFieldName.Text))*x+y
where x is the number of pixels a character takes up on average and y the number of pixels for the rest of your gallery width. You could also do the width of the label using the same principle without the y
I have tested this and it works.

Thank you, @WarrenBelz , this is what I was looking for (I think), the only problem is that now the gallery width changes depending on which gallery item I click on - was it the same in your testing? The "YourFieldName" in your formula is the label name of the gallery item, right?

@JK2020 ,
Yes it is the label name. I must admit I did not go clicking around it - just checked the formula worked.
You are right it adjusts with the selected item.
