How to overcome component shrinking in codename one? - codenameone

I'm trying to display some query results on a GridLayout but the results keep on shrinking once it is more than one. On codename one GUI Builder, I placed a container with GridLayout, 1 row and 4 columns within another container with BoxLayout Y. How can I overcome this please?
Please check the attached picture for more clarification.

You need to set the row count to match the number of actual rows you are adding which you can calculate based on the number of components / the number of rows.
You need to do this by code since the GUI builder can't know that at this stage.

DHTMLxGrid 3.0 Issue with sorting and percent width columns

Sorry for no code sample, I can try to get a small sample at some point. But hoping someone has seen this behavior before.
I have a DHTMLxGrid (3.0) that was created from an HTML table. The column widths are set using grid.setColumnWidthsP. When you click on the header to sort the columns, it continually expands the widths of most of the columns. If I remove the setColumnWidthsP and allow the grid to calculate the widths, it works fine. Another issue that might be tied to it, the sort image never appears. Again both items work fine if the column widths are not set by percentages.
Please, check width of your HTML table. if it has the relative sizes it may expand to the parent.
If the problem still occurs for you please, provide any kind of snippet or a complete demo, where the problem can be reconstructed.

Having trouble with alternate shading and hidden cells in SQL Server Reporting Services

The main method I have for altering the formatting of the final reports is in SQL Server Report Builder.
I have a table within this system which currently is as shown below with some information blacked out.
As shown currently the second line (as shown by 004A) of groupings (referred to as a subsample) comes up with blank areas in the second, third, and fifth columns where the cells have been hidden.
This shading has been done with the following code:
=Iif(Left(Fields!LabSampleNo.Value,3) MOD 2 = 0, "WhiteSmoke", "Transparent")
Is there a way to fix this issue without having to go to coding outside the report builder or by making the fields no longer hidden?
Any help would be great.
As the textboxes are hidden you will not be able to see the backcolor. It is the entire textbox you are hiding, not just it's content.
So the answer to your question is no, you will have to make the textboxes visible again however you can just wrap your value expression inside the same logic as you used to hide the columns.
So, let's say you are hiding the columns based on the first column have non numeric characters and the column you wanted to hide was called myDataColumn then you could do something like...
=IIF(ISNUMERIC(Fields!myFirstColumn.Value), Fields!myDataColumn.Value, "")
Your row's background color expression would remain the same.

How could I interactively create an invoice and preview it on WPF?

I'm creating a trial project wherein my window has two grids, left grid is sort of a table that has labels and textboxes each row and asks for a specific part of the invoice like item, name, address stuff like that and the right grid is to show a preview of the invoice that the left side is creating.
I thought about using a document viewer on the right side but I thought that anything I open there would be static and if I put values on the textboxes on the left grid, it wouldn't matter since I opened a standalone document to view on the right grid.
I thought about just creating a table out of the right grid and have the default values and populate the other ones when a user types something on the textbox and make it function as the preview but then I don't know how would I go about and printing it and also, it has about 45 rows which I couldn't fit in the grid without it being unreadable (because I had to cram 45 rows of data inside that small grid)
So is there a tool in the toolbox that could potentially create a interact-able grid? I tried the grid control but I can't seem to only make it show 4 columns because that's all I need, I don't want it to show E and the rest of the alphabet because I want it to resize accordingly with only 4 columns to make it more readable.
Oh and I also have devexpress installed so you guys could also recommend something I can use from there. Thank You.
I think this is the best solution since it does what I wanted it to do.
I created a scroll view and placed a grid inside it then set the length accordingly to show it in a reasonable size and let the scroll bar do its magic for me to see the rest of the grid without compromises of the content's size.

EXTJS Pie chart.. display top 10 values

In EXTJS PIE Chart i want to sort top 10 values and display in Descending order.
Currently it gets all records from store and displays. I need only top 10.
Can anyone guide me to solve this issue?
Thanks
I do not think it's' pie charts' job to show top 10 values. you should provide a process that will transofrm the original store in what you really need. A plugin that replaces the original store might be an ideea.
You can try sorting and filtering the store. I manipulated example code in ExtJS docs and figured, that data is displayed by given order. Maybe if you apply sorter to store you might get desired effect. As for filtering: find min value of top ten values and apply filter that leaves only values above it. Might work, but I haven't tried it.

Initialize JFreeChart range axis values

I am trying to load dataset during initialization of the JFreeChart. But every time I tried to create a dataset with higher "number of item per series", the more data (all data) displayed visible in the chart (the bigger the dataset, the smaller the graph). But actually what I wanted is to have the fixed range of dataset values displayed on the chart while the rest is still hidden. Just the same way the data would normally be displayed in the actual trading platform, let's say Metatrader (MT4). First time when I open the chart I can see the screen filled with the only visible dataset of the chart and if I left-scroll the chart I will be able to see the old/history dataset as well. Does anyone have idea how to achieve this using JFreechart?
Really appreciate for any help or any thing/articles I can refer. Thanks so much!
You can use setRange() on either the domain or range axis, as shown in this fragment. If you've already tried this, it may help to edit your question to include an sscce and/or image that exhibits any problems you encountered.
