Adjusting column width on form control lookup

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I have a form control lookup for an invoice number. The column's default format has half the invoice number cut off. Is there any way to adjust the pixel length of the field? It looks like the SysTableLookupBase class controls this, but I would rather not touch base code if possible.

Any suggestions?

Hi

The width of the column is decided by the length of the column label. Adding a order by also increases the width of the column as it adds a arrow button. You may want to increase the label length here.

Hope this helps.

Hi Spatton, If you try to add this, field width will go up, hence I suggested this. Try this option and let me know the result

Hey, thanks for the reply!

I'm not concerned with the field order however. That is all sorted out. I'm looking for a way to default the column width without touching base AX code.

Thanks again!

Try to add "addOrderByField" for this lookup. Refer msdn.microsoft.com/.../querybuilddatasource.addorderbyfield.aspx
